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.

Que buena novela, que podría pasar por una crónica facilmente, que cruda realidad la que viven las mujeres trans del mundo, pero en este caso específicamente las latinoamericanas, Camila nos cuenta su vida como prostituta cuando estaba en sus earlies 20s, de la comunidad que se hace entre las mujeres trans con esta misma profesión, pero sobre todo de lo cruel que es el mundo con ellas, tanto hombres como mujeres, tanto personas heteros u hoosexuales, como las mujeres trans se sentían excluidas y bajo sus propias palabras, como las cucarachas de la sociedad, Camila tiene una manera muy poética de describir y narrar todas las cosas por las que vivió ella desde su casa con su familia hasta su vida en las calles, una novela muy cruda pero a la vez muy bella de leer, concuerdo con el prólogo cuando dijo que Las Malas es de esos libros que acabas y quieres que todo el mundo lea.

pd. checar trigger warnings antes de leer.
