 This was a sweet read, even if it feels like a huge suspension of disbelief to stick with the protagonist for as long as she is able to forge her counterfeit student life.
That said, I really appreciated the internal struggles she dealt with as she learned to separate her own ideas and beliefs from those of her well-intentioned but overbearing parents.
