Initial reaction: I love the message of the story. And I was really rooting for Adunni and her resilient spirit.  But I had some problems with the pacing, especially towards the end. I feel like we could’ve gotten so much more out of Adunni’s character development and especially with Miss Tia’s relationship but I feel like it was paced too quickly. It made a very beautiful, liberating relationship just seem very forced and confusing. basically as soon as we transition from Ikati to Lagos, the Lagos portion just felt…off.

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.

Uplifting but in flashes shot through what is a sad story of continual abuse and neglect. Adunni is dedicated to getting an education and will stop at nothing, which makes her an admirable heroine for young readers. It's written in dialect, which I found a bit challenging BUT that is not meant as a criticism of the author or Daré's use of dialect; it made the story much richer.

A good book and story but it needs trigger warnings because I was really caught off guard by how traumatic some of the character experiences are.
