4.5
This book was awesome! I loved the overall vibe and how the author adds sources at the end. I think Tru was slightly underdeveloped in some aspects, but overall she felt like a real person I could know.
I enjoyed how Tru's difficulties with her disability were not glossed over, and how she courageously powered through her doubts. I aspire to be as brave as her, truly.
I love Od's character and how she never loses her spark, despite the many awful happenings she was subject to in her lifetime. If these girls possess anything, it's definitely bravery and determination.
It took me a while to get into the story, though that's just due to personal preference, I'm sure. (I tend to read fast contemporary books the most.)
I loved the storyteller aspect of the book. I've seen many people mention how the synopsis is misleading, but the copy I own has a different synopsis than the one on the Storygraph. This one fits the book much more, in my opinion.
