3.5 ⭐️ Although I didn’t love this book, I did like it. I don’t read slavery books very often, probably because of how terribly sad they always are - and this one is no exception. I will say the narration for the audiobook was well done and interesting to listen to. But the writing itself could have been better. The dual POV felt redundant and the ending felt rushed.

I had to read this book for school, so I’m a little biased to not like it; however, I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did. Great story, a little slow at times.
