Such a powerful book! It was well researched and written well. The middle got a bit slow for me, but the beginning and end made it worth it.

This was an interesting, compelling look at the composite life of one of the schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram. A little disjointed at times and less emotional than the subject matter would seem.

Parts of this book are brutal and hard hitting, but other parts feel vague and not well explained or fleshed out. It is obvious the author has done her research, but I feel like many details are skipped over or told extremely quickly, possibly to avoid scrutiny on lesser known parts of the narrative. I would love to see a book like this written from a Nigerian author.

This was pretty hard hitting and incredibly sad. It felt like it was a very well researched book and it missed some of the natural flow.

3.5 ⭐️ I feel the second half picked up but I also felt the narrative was a bit disjointed in parts. I would have enjoyed it more had the narrator been a bit more authenticly written. I felt there were some gaps.
