Don't read if you're in a "low" head space, or questioning your existence. Not the kind of catharsis you'd need.zaraha's review against another edition

Este libro hace muy buen trabajo en trasladarte al mundo interno de la protagonista, en entender cómo la misoginia y su entorno familiar la han llevado a donde está y a tomar las decisiones que toma, y en trasladarte a la Nueva York del año 2000. Pero no empatizo con ella.
Da igual lo que aprenda, da igual lo que supere, da igual como o hacia donde evolucione a mi me cae igual de mal al principio que al final, porque si se puede permitir esa transformación en primer lugar es por su posición de clase. Lo que me aleja de superar mis traumas como lo ha hecho ella no es el contexto onírico y semirrealista en el que se mueve el libro, es mi propia pobreza.
Ha sido una lectura genuinamente entretenida pero ha sido entretenida como verse un capítulo de Gossip Girl con una capa de intelectualismo por encima, no puedo concederle la profundidad que pretende darme cuando me siento tan tan lejos de todo lo que le pasa a esta chica que al final todo me da igual.
(Admito que hay una parte al final donde una apreciación de la existencia humana si me emociona un pelín, pero lo estropea el capítulo final osea que fue ese párrafo xd)

it was easy to finish.
and difficult to read.
easy: i really like
the pacing, voice,
characterization.
difficult:
1. I... am studying my eye
for desire politics...
this book was useful
in this regard --
the narrator's discussion
of self, Whoopi
("magical negro trope"/fixation
with Whoopi and her body),
and/in relation with every other
person/subject in the book.
2. This person
is really hurting.
p.s.
did not realize
until now that
her name -- we do
not ever get it!

Content warnings: Heavy drug abuse and depression (this is the entire plot) eating disorders parental death (multiple cases) 9/11 Domestic abuse animal cruelty (somewhat graphic discussion in the first chapter, but easy to skip over since it’s only about a paragraph. The narrator does not partake in it and instead is just describing something someone else did. Short mentions of the same situation about two more times through the book. Also easy to skip over. As someone who can’t handle really any mention of animal cruelty, I was able over easily and ignore.)
