El escuadrón de los marginados: The Outcast Squad (TOS)
by Magdalena TrimarchiMagdalena Trimarchi publicó en Wattpad su primera novela Más allá de la realidad y fascinó a miles de lectores. En 2015 ganó el premio Watty. Con El escuadrón de los marginados tocará las fibras más íntimas y sensibles de quienes alguna vez se sintieron solos, desorientados o que el mundo era un lugar hostil donde encontrar el equilibro personal y el amor era un desafío casi imposible. Margaery fumaba, sus pitadas eran como soles. Con cada pitada acababa con su vida, pero nunca ver a alguien acabar con su vida fue algo tan hermoso para mí. A veces me pregunto si lo que realmente me atrae es ella o la máscara que se construye de sí misma para ocultar su verdadero agujero negro. Pero lo interesante de Margaery es que nada parece importarle, y ahí es donde mis teorías se congelan, se ponen en duda. Margaery White cree que es invisible, sin embargo, todo en ella exige cierta atención. Y la mía la tiene de sobra. Para todo aquel que se sienta incomprendido, solo, imperfecto, miserable. Todos ustedes merecen ser comprendidos. Y esta es mi prueba: El escuadrón de los marginados, The Outcast Squad (TOS).Tyler Dobson
