My Tender Matador

Josefina

to be honest, what i didn't like were the descriptions of smells (weird, maybe, but i didn't want to read about men's armpits smelling) and also how it changed perspectives with no warning, one paragraph you were reading about one character, and it changed character on the next, which made it a bit confusing.
but i feel like it's a good read if you want some historical fiction about the dictatorship that happened on Chile, and get the side of an lgbt+ character. 
in history they never talked to us about people in the community and how they contributed to some events that happened in our country, or how their reality back then was like, so it was nice to read a bit about it here.
