I liked the way she wrote this story to her mother. She’s an excellent story teller - I do think the book lost flow towards the end. Still recommend highly 💛

Gupta articulates such challenging parts of her upbringing with grace and dignity. I admire her courage and excellence navigating life as a young woman. She’s truly exceptional and has learned so much of life by standing up for what she believes in. Great read!
