5.0

Es un libro único, que todo el mundo debería leer, donde la autora nos abre su corazón para acercarnos a miles de mujeres y personas travestis y trans y nos permite conocer sus luchas, alegrías, miedos, amistades, violencias, sufrimientos e injusticias.
No es un libro que trate sobre una realidad ligera y alegre, pero no deja de transmitir la fiesta travesti, con una prosa mágica y cercana, que se lee como una charla entre mates con la autora.
Con toques de realismo mágico, muy argentino y sentido, es un libro inolvidable y movilizante que quiero volver a leer una y mil veces.
