Es un libro corto y muy bonito, pero también muy tenso. Lo recomiendo si quieres algo que te saque del bloqueo de lector :)

ICONIC. Definitely a cultural reset during the 90's; important piece of pop culture. AND even gayer than the film. That was a good reading 🤌🏻

This book is really sad but also a bit hopeful, I'd say. I do recommend it but I suggest to read the trigger warnings first. Although I liked it, I couldn't wait to finish it because some of the themes touched here are kinda too dark.
