This book slapped me straight in the face with a power I didn't expect. It's so casually written which makes it even more powerful. Narrated by three different women, with three different points of view on how forced marriage can be so challenging and rough for young women. Still, it is a heavy subject please make sure to check the tw before you start reading. If you know one of those guys that say that feminism is not necessary and say it's a just whim, make them read this book it'll show them how it's still very important nowadays and how unfair it is.
