This book was great although at some parts I was confused or a little disinterested overall it’s an amazing book and I feel as though the message of female empowerment is so great and overcoming challenges also a great point. I will say it might be a hard read because of the topics in it so I would say there are definitely trigger warnings and to educate yourself on what they are before you choose to read it or not. I would say this book is in my top three favorite books I read this school year.

This book was incredible; however, I would definitely rate it for a mature audience. The sexual content, language, and abuse are quite prevalent in the first third of the book.

emromc's review against another edition

Way too much sex and strong language. I was enjoying the format and the characters, the important story... but I can't wade through that much content.
