The story is told through diary snippets so much is left off page, colored by the main character's views as well as the natural distance between reader and story. There is not much to bond the reader to any of the characters but the story is still satisfying enough. I was also appreciative of the discussion questions after the author's note as they helped reframe one or two things for me.

There is a scene at the school where a gun goes off. The main character mentions that poor mothers often sell their daughters to wealthier families and those daughters almost never get to go to school.sophia_ryann's review
