This entire story is heartbreaking and is a necessary read. It took weeks to get through because things were so hard to stomach but I truly cannot express the appreciation I feel toward Yeonmi for being brave and willing to share her experiences.

I don’t want to say that I loved this because it was harrowing, but I enjoyed this because of so many reasons. Mainly, the fact that Yeonmi grew the strength and courage to share her story with the world and become who she is. The only thing that’s not giving this a 5 ⭐️ is that the narrator wasn’t Yeonmi, which I can understand why, and that the narrator wasn’t giving enough emotional support. I need to get a copy of this book so I can highlight more quotes that I love because I only got one. “We all have our own deserts. They may not be the same as my desert, but we all have to cross them to find a purpose in life and be free.”mxpringle's review against another edition
