3.0

I really don’t know how I feel about this book. For one thing, the title is entirely not reflective of the book. Her “education” is abuse and trauma. Also, I feel like the boom really glorified the terrible things that happened to Dixie at the end when she seemed so happy. It did not seem like a realistic reaction to what happened.
