2.75

would be 3 stars if it weren’t for the pacing for parts 1 & 2 of this book - they were so disorganized that I couldn’t enjoy the writing until part 3 (which was the longest and definitely the most well-written of the 3 sections). 

it’s a nice easy read and a good break from all the depressing books I always have my nose in, but it wasn’t super profound to me. there are definitely some gems in there, though. the ending was a little flat and weirdly abrupt. 

ultimately I don’t understand the praise this gets, it was okay. not bad, but not the best piece of writing either. 

not trying to rain on her parade at all. despite my critiques i am very happy she was able to flourish and now lives the life she wants to live without the societal & religious constraints that are bestowed upon us from such a young age.
