Holy shit this was so creative, beautiful, and heartbreaking. Trans women, she-wolves, eternals, and so much love, this book is one of the best books about the trans community I have ever read. It’s not only realistic in some senses but has so many twists and turns that I feel like it’s impossible to keep up lol. Camilla Villada is an amazing author!!!
Reread Review: I think some of the most painful moments in the book are when the Travestis find out that one of their own is dead. The pain is so visceral. The performance of cena bryer makes it so sad.
One of those moments is when Incarna finds out one of the Travestis dead on the side of the road and she begins slamming the girl’s head against the ground while screaming “why didn’t you fight back”. It is dark and it shows Auntie’s feeling of guilt regarding saving her kids. This is a lot of pain to walk around with.
