Muy real, se nota la vulnerabilidad, honestidad y personalidad particular en la escritura de cada una de las autoras.
Definitivamente el final del primer ensayo fue lo que más me marcó en el libro entero.

My favourite essays were 9, 12 and 13. It’s hard to criticise non-fiction works that are also autobiographical and personal. While it had a wide breadth, I feel like a lot of chapters skimmed their experiences. We did learn about what they and their mother don’t talk about but I wanted meatier perspectives. A lot of them were very significant experiences but lacked, for me, a stronger emotional aspect where it broke past the barrier and showed vulnerability, rather than just being a recount. Again, it is already vulnerable to speak these silent matters and immortalise them in written word, but I do think it could have been cathartic for all to push it a bit further.
