This book was great although at some parts I was confused or a little disinterested overall it’s an amazing book and I feel as though the message of female empowerment is so great and overcoming challenges also a great point. I will say it might be a hard read because of the topics in it so I would say there are definitely trigger warnings and to educate yourself on what they are before you choose to read it or not. I would say this book is in my top three favorite books I read this school year.
