What a heart wrenching book. There are so many things i loved about this book i just don't know where to start. I loved the way the book was written and how Daré wrote Adunni’s POV in a way she would realistically speak as an uneducated, poor village girl in Nigeria, it made the book much more intriguing and fun to read, especially as a Yoruba girl myself!! I also really liked the facts at the start of the later chapters, it was very interesting!!

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

being raped and sexually assaulted TWICE (I hope Big Daddy and Morufu burn in the DEEPEST PITS IN HELL)

she was still so hopeful and enthusiastic for her future. Seeing her constantly speak her mind regardless of her position in society and advocate for young girls like her who are also marginalised in Nigeria was so heartwarming. Her progressing her mindset to start uplifting herself and further pushing herself was my favourite bit about this book.
( 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!!

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.
