Las imperfectas / The Imperfects
“Somos un bonche de mujeres exitosas, algunas con los pies en la tierra, algunas con la cabeza en las nubes y otras con expectativas en el más allá. Todas fuertes, guapas y divertidas y por eso las respeto de corazón. Con o sin marido, mal folladas o felices, en español o en inglés, nuestra única intención en la vida es diseñar y construir un puente indestructible entre nuestros corazones y nuestras mentes.”
Somos María, Linda, Martita, Astrid, Gladys, Victoria, Yamila, Zulma, Elisa y diez mujeres, un camino... En este honesto (#nofilter) y humorístico relato nos damos cuenta lo distintas que somos y cómo, al mismo tiempo, queremos lo simplicidad, amor, paz, balance, celebrar nuestra feminidad, y saber que todo va a estar bien. Que sólo podemos controlar nuestras intenciones, mas nunca los resultados. Aunque a veces nos cueste reconocer y escuchar por temor a ser vulnerables por temor a lo desconocido—a lo que ya está escrito, rompemos estereotipos según los vamos creando. Así, nos declaramos perfectamente imperfectas.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
We are a group of successful women, some with our feet firmly planted on the ground and some with our heads in the clouds. We are all strong, beautiful, and funny and that is why I respect them wholeheartedly. With or without a husband, miserable or happy, in Spanish or English, our only intention in life is to design and build an indestructible bridge between our hearts and our minds.
We are María, Linda, Martita, Astrid, Gladys, Victoria, Yamila, Zulma, Elisa and Cecilia. In this honest (#nofilter) and humorous story we realize how different we are and how, at the same time, we want the same simplicity, love, peace, balance, celebrating our femininity, and knowing that everything is going to be fine. That we can only control our intentions, but never the results. Although sometimes we find it difficult to listen for fear of being vulnerable, for fear of the unknown, we break stereotypes as we also create them. Thus, we declare ourselves perfectly imperfect.

mehh, too many jokes that take a whole page to manifest themselves and end up not being funny.
There are some interesting characters though! I suggest passing it up.

Hilarious read while also providing a touching and genuine view into the lives of multiple women. I appreciated reading each of their stories and their different perspectives and approaches on life.

Disfrute la picardía y el ambiente cultural de donde provienen los personajes. Una historia del poder femenino, refrescante que te invita a mirar tu vida desde la compasión y sentido de humor.

Como me ha gustado el sendo revolú que Cristy fue capaz de organizar en un libro. Pero qué arte tan bonito el de sus palabras. Definitivamente fue un libro igual de refrescante que enredado; tremenda manera de capturar tanta complejidad. :)

Overall, a fun and comforting read into what it means to be a woman, told from 10 different women’s point of view. It was hilarious at some points and sad at others but every woman had an outlook of her life that could be learned from. In the end, we’re all a bit of all of them.
