thebankofbooks's review against another edition

emotional reflective sad slow-paced

2.5

Whilst I’m in awe and pain at the life Maya has lived, and whilst I was fascinated to find out about it, I’m sad to say that I was put off by the writing style. For me, it felt off and made it so much harder to get into.
