Extremely interesting first book for the author, but full of angst that made me feel unsettled (for good reason) so it wasn't the"ooh, I can't wait to read more" kind of listen (I had the audiobook), but more of the "I have to find out how she escapes and get this over with" kind of book. It made me feel so helpless for women in her situation.
If I read it again it would be the book as the narrator on audio wasn't my favorite--very child-like voice that suited her story in the beginning, but not the end at all.

I found this very interesting, both on it's own, and in comparison the the Netflix mini-series.

What a great read, I had no knowledge of the strict ways of the Hasisdic Jews so this was an eye opener. The book is nothing like the Netflix series but I feel I appreciated it more reading it after watching the series. I would recommend this book to any reader, it's a quick read and very well laid out.

I liked this book a lot. I liked it more than the Netflix series — and it does differ. Both were good looks at a community that I knew little about beforehand.
