Beautiful Country
by Qian Julie Wang
Trigger warning : Animal Abuse
what I really liked:
Beautiful Country is a raw, heartbreaking, yet captivating memoir. I was completely immersed as soon as I read the prologue at the beginning. Reading how when things got bad in the author’s life, she would dream she would write her family’s stories down so others like them would know they were not alone and they, too, could be survivors, pulled at my heart and emotions strongly.
What I didn't care for :
Wang only writes about her life until she’s in the sixth grade. The last chapter is an insanely quick summary of her life after she was a tween. I’m sorry but a memoir doesn’t end at 12 years-old... So I removed a star for that.
