5.0

The book is about the choices one makes, regardless of the consequences and validation of the majority. It’s about empathy, hope, humanity, love, and beyond. It’s a small book with only 115 pages but the impact is much more. The writing is beautiful, elegantly put, and gives a stark message about kindness and compassion. It reminded me of Hemingway’s writing - simply compelling, extremely impactful, and beautifully articulated. The words will go straight into your heart, immaculately put and so so provocative. 

Please give it a read. It’s a beautiful book with a profound message.
