This is a book that will make you feel uncomfortable, the story is terrible and grotesque but captivating. It deals with poverty, violence, sex work, drugs, homophobia, desperation and so many other things that go on in a small rural town in Mexico.

The story is violent and gruesome and the writing amplifies that, it's crude, raw, and urgent, and it feels like you are reading a nightmare. The story is not that complex but the way it's told, the structure of the book, is complex but easy to follow, and makes the story more interesting.

I struggled a bit with this because I feel like a lot of the terrible things that happened in this book were described in a lot of detail, there's nothing left to the imagination and, sometimes, it wasn't necessary, it didn't make the story better. Especially since there is a lot of the child SA that takes place on the page and that it's pretty graphic.
