bindi12's review against another edition
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Loveable characters? Yes
5.0
While dealing with heavy, difficult topics, this is ultimately a story of resiliency and hope. Essie has a strong sense of self independent of the controlling, harmful environment in which she was raised. The ending is hopeful without being unrealistic.
