“If they know how to love you, they know how to use you,” said Irenia referring to men: “They know well that women are slaves of sensations and emotions. Well, I am no longer a seeker of sensations because men are garbage, reactive substances that make a fool of you in the end. I don’t understand why women are slaves of beautiful and dignified words. They are the stuff of the women’s own downfall. It is like admiring golden bullets for being made of gold, forgetting that they kill.” The novel centers in four couples who are trying to understand love and sex. They learn the hard way after a series of events lead to a crime.
