This book was amazing. Switching chapters between mother and daughter, it covered so many topics: unplanned teenage pregnancy, abandonment, and self-doubt are just a few. I loved the way Aliu wrote in quick little analogies in almost every single paragraph. I will definitely read her book of short stories and root for her to write more.
