The Sky is Mine by Amy Beashel
3.0
I’m just not sure this book was for me. I want to say that this was a VERY IMPORTANT book, with a very important message, it I was angered when reading it. I will say that it was a personal opinion of mine and to no fault of the author.
What I liked about this book: Even with as mad as I got at our main character, Izzy in the beginning, I really loved her ultimately. She grew so much throughout this book.
What I didn’t like: The author seems to have tried to take every possible kind of abuse (emotional, physical, sexual) and cram it all into this book. I understand that those are poignant and incredibly important topics to discuss and shed light on, but it felt like just a huge onslaught of what can possibly go wrong will go wrong. I didn’t like any of the characters in the first half of the book. None of them seemed like great people (I am so so glad that it changed throughout the book!!!)
This was in NO WAY a bad book. This was quite brilliant in so many aspects. I think it is a very important piece of written work for people looking for books about abuse against women.
