This book was definitely hard to get through at times. Coming in at a whopping 600+ pages, it definitely takes some time to finish. Not to mention, the plot can tend to drag as we’re effectively recycling the same core issues. Despite this, it was still an enjoyable read and I’m glad I read it. As a recent college grad who’s struggling to find her place in the world especially after growing up poor, this book hit super close to home and I recommend people in a similar situation to read it. You won’t regret it!

While incredibly long this book kept me captivated until the end! Minus one star for the ending, it didn’t really leave you with much closure and didn’t really make sense.
