The writing was a whole vibe, gothic and decay. The body horror was disgusting but I wish there was more. The horror was cool but there was too little of it 🥲, thus, the 4 stars.
Noemí is a strong female character and she is consistent with her ideology, love that for her. Every word she said were beautiful. I just loved the way she pissed off the misogynistic walking red flags.
It was definitely a slow read but the ending was worth it.
