A review by yaizacanopoli
Homeless by Liyana Dhamirah

3.0

Liyana's story is unique in that no one has really written about homelessness in Singapore before. She's an incredibly strong and positive person with a genuinely inspiring attitude, and she is made even stronger by all the wonderful people she meets; a great amount of the good things that happened to her were thanks to unexpected encounters and the kindness of strangers. Her story is intense yet enjoyable to read, as she remains optimistic and amitious throughout all her struggles.

The one thing I didn't enjoy about this book was the writing. It feels quite rough and in need of some serious polishing, and I found it very dramatic at times. I would still recommend this book however - it tackles an important issue that isn't really talked about, and the author is an admirable person whose voice deserves to be heard.
