Una historia maravillosa que te aprieta el corazón, pero que al mismo tiempo ese amor entre penumbras y de noche te va cuidando.
Escucharlo en voz de la autora fue una experiencia maravillosa.

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.

fiquei de cara como a camila villada conseguiu narrar uma história com temas tão pesados (a invisibilidade travesti, prostituição e etc) de uma maneira “leve” (???), de uma maneira que te deixava com vontade de continuar lendo sem parar. Foi um livro both heartbreaking and somehow also heartwarming in some ways/moments
