This was very good and a great audiobook. It was beautifully written. I do like what is talked about but I feel like I’m a little stupid and stuff like went over my head/it took me a while to understand. But I would recommend this.

This book was tough. I didn't necessarily learn something new, but Coates has a beautiful way of writing that really pulled me in. It broke my heart again and again, and yet it's a story of resilience. Should be required reading in my opinion!
