The characters are cringe, the plot is cringe and the idealizations are cringe. I couldn't expect a cis Colombian male to have anything really meaningful to say about trans women but everything here is combined with the most cringe and toxic romantic relationship ideals  you could imagine. The way the author speaks of the trans woman is mostly in how she could be a good romantic partner and idealizes her like a "woman of laboratory" in contrast of more "traditional" women which is just the most ridiculous and male centric idea someone could ever have about a trans woman at all, it just sickens me in my stomach and makes me want to puke. The fact that

the characters in the novel were okay with her murdering someone and hiding the event just because it would be a scandal for a politician to be with a trans woman also says a lot about what people think of trans woman in general here. And yes, it could be the mere fact that a simple affair could cause a scandal, and not the fact that it was with a trans woman, but I'm not feeling any sort of lenience to give this novel the benefit of the doubt and you know that there was still a murder that was covered so nobody found out about anything.

The relationships are toxic and while I can feel a lot of pain and imperfect characters could make for a great novel like this, I can only feel the shallow, puddle depth perceptions the author has of all of its characters and how they all act as cardboard cutouts of the authors idealizations and feelings, even with so many imperfect characters, I never get to understand any of them, I never get to be on their shoes.  This book is a lot tell don't show and that only leaves me with what the author wants me to feel, I can see everything he feels and his inner world but I can't experience any of it, and to me, all this world is just disgustingly cartoonish and lame. I can't believe I would ever be using the word cringe but right now the only thing I can feel about this book are that, cringe, cringe, I feel this book is so cringe, to a point that is truly embarrassing for me to experience. 

This was stupid, just stupid, if you can't show what you feel and you resort to the make the characters tell me what you feel, you failed, completely, entirely, and even when the story and all conflict, ideas and characters written here are so beyond me in the most stereotypical disgusting hetero-binary type of romance people always like to make fun of, if the author had managed to show me what their world was like instead of telling me about it, I would have at least understood what it meant to have his world of view.
