Really unique book, from concept all the way down to formatting. I really enjoyed this thoroughly, although I feel like it could've been even a little longer with more reflection on behalf of the main character.

This book is an amazing collection of captivating poems that speak true to the tragedies and numerous misfortunes of a population that is often silenced. I highly recommend this book for those in middle and highschool, especially to those that may not be the best readers.
