clevelandbookgirl's review against another edition
5.0
I'm so happy I checked out this audiobook from Libby. Yeonmi Park gives insight to what life was like for her in North Korea.
This story was very hard to listen to. It was tragic, but Yeonmi and her family did what they had to in order to survive, no matter the cost. I will list content warning at the end of this post, because a lot of what Yeonmi and her family survived was extremely brutal.
If you are looking for a memoir for Women's Month this March I would strongly suggest picking up this book. I think this book should be read in political science and sociology classes to showcase politics, survival, and people's ways of thinking. If you're looking for a non-fiction book that will shake you to the core, read In Order to Live.

I found the pacing really well done up until the end where it seems to wrap up really quickly, but I will happily read anything the author decides to write next!
