Lots of trigger warnings should be listed, but I’ll just say that if you have any deep trauma, basically anything at all save perhaps personal experience with combat and war, you should proceed with caution. Personally I found it very healing to hear about a girl whose lives experience aligns so closely with mine as a child. It helped me to be angry and scared and helpless with her. It was deeply validating, especially to watch her stumble through adulthood after all of those years without the foundation that should have been built for her as a child.
This book was inspiring without being ham-fisted, tragic without being melodramatic, heartbreaking without being hopeless, and above all, an artistic expression of a woman who should have never made it to where she did but did anyway.
