There are lots of triggering topics in this book, but it was fast paced and each chapter leaves you wanting to know what will happen next, hoping for a better future for little Adunni.

This novel also taught me a lot about what it means to be a woman in Nigeria and, more generally, in an international context. It has made me even more grateful for my education and thankful that I get to educate others.
Otherwise, this is also just a great read and a real page turner.

I truly loved Adunni and words cannot describe the hurt i felt towards her. But at the same time, i felt so inspired by her!! Despite being failed by most of the adults in her life and
( Also I just wanted to point out how i love how caring and protective Adunni is about her family, especially her younger brother and its so sweet how she still loves her father despite him selling her)
Overall, i give this book a whopping 5 stars, it really didnt feel like i was reading 312 pages!!
