Not gonna lie it was heavier than I expected. Please check trigger warnings before going into this.
It's just really fucking hard to be a girl in the world. The sexism and the casual assault of boys/men putting their hands were they don't belong.
Dealing with all of this, and also having to handle an uber religious household at home. It was a lot. I think I struggled the most with the whole family dynamic, those were the scenes where I actually had to pause a bit. I couldn't relate at all, since I didn't grow up in a religious household but just the thought of the punishments Xiomara had to deal with, it was a lot. Also the notebook scene. I mean, I'm glad that they seemed to have worked it out in the end, but it's not my mother, so I'm holding a grudge for forever.
I would love a Xavier sequel, cause I need to know how he is dealing with everything. How and if he will come out. I need to know that he will be okay, that he will be loved.
