With a tone that combines humor and rawness, the work immerses the reader in a universe where teenagers who stop eating, entrenched chauvinistic men, individuals in search of their gender identity, and possessive parents coexist in a plot of secrets and self-discovery. A read that invites us to question appearances and reflect on how far we are willing to go for love, hate, or to find ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe novel follows the life of Juanita, a teenager who, after falling in love, stops eating, triggering a series of conflicts that affect those around her. Equally complex characters move around her: a chauvinistic man who resists change, a girl who feels she was born in the wrong body, and a father who views his daughter as a possession.

Its main success lies in the construction of an ambivalent protagonist and the treatment of issues such as gender identity or chauvinistic violence from a perspective that combines rawness and humor, avoiding a preachy tone. The work may be particularly attractive to readers looking for socially committed fiction, although its direct approach and the moral ambiguity of its characters may not appeal to those who prefer more conventional narratives. Overall, a novel that invites debate and reflection on the limits of what is acceptable in human relationships.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EDICIONES CON M DE MUJER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53406773608795,"sku":"9788410102682","price":21.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0650\/6331\/files\/978841010268.jpg?v=1781840875","url":"https:\/\/kalamobooks.com\/en\/products\/9788410102682","provider":"Kalamo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
