Although the book is challenging and eye-opening in exposing traditional culture practices and immigrant family dynamics, it’s lackluster in it’s descriptive language at times. A large part of the book is focused on building the tension that the reader can suspect from the beginning will reveal in the main character’s consequence of disobedience. The ending is very much hopeful and unexpected in what you could expect from a mirror story in real life. Overall, this could be a safe book for people who have been victims for SA and domestic abuse or someone who may share same pressures of non-Western cultural beliefs.
