It is also necessary.
It's difficult to call it beautiful when it took so long to get through given the dmany breaks needed scattered throughout in order to... You know, still feel ok.
The narration is from the girl's perspective, some kind of "stream of thought", except it is full of breaking points, repetitions and quite nonsensical, so the girl's stream of thought is something else entirely, and it reflects, I believe, how broken she feels.
It is a trigger warning in itself, so be mindful of that. Very graphic many times.

Así se va mi último libro del 2023. Quizás uno de los más desafiantes que leí.
Una chica es una cosa a medio hacer es, quizás, indescriptible. La historia es una historia familiar, de amor y traumas y dolores compartidos y secretos que se enraizan como hierbas malas. Sin embargo, lo trascendental del libro, de la novela, no es su historia sino la forma de contarla: un monólogo interno sin pausa, asfixiado, entrecortado, una conversación constante con un interlocutor lejano, incapaz de escuchar, un otro que no entiende pero que lo es todo, que es el motor del discurso y el fin y el principio.
Siento que me va a llevar días terminar de procesar Una chica es una cosa a medio hacer. Siento que el poder hipnótico de su prosa mantendrá su hechizo sobre mí largo y tendido. Lo recomendaría? No lo sé. No solo por los trigger warnings (que debería tener escritos por todos lados), sino porque esa misma prosa afiebrada, caótica, interrumpida, no es de fácil digestión.
