I am sure this will sound like slander to most, but this book was difficult to get through for me. It was a bit slow-paced for my liking. I know it stands for important things, and for that, I appreciate it. However, I did not really enjoy this book.

3.0

 The Girl With The Louding Voice by Abi Daré was a difficult and traumatic read, but well worth the time. This heartbreaking story makes you want to crawl into the pages and hug Adunni as tight as you can as her childhood unfolds. While I’m not typically a fan of stories written phonetically, Daré’s style here helps to solidify Adunni’s place in society and her lack of education. This is such a moving read, but, full-disclosure, I found it hard to get through given the subject matter’s weight. I do highly recommend this book, but be warned that it is not a happy read, nor an easy one. This book handles real life events for so many women (really, young girls who become women too soon), and though it is a fictional account, it doesn’t make these situations any less real. This book will make you think about others on an entirely new plain, but it is well worth it.
