I had to read this for my English class but I genuinely enjoyed this book. Taking a look at what Telumees life was like growing up and all the struggles she went was a bit of a bittersweet story. Her relationship with her grandmother was beautiful but the other harsh things she went through were a bit gut wrenching. I laughed, I was shocked, I got angry, etc. Loved it!!
