Run, Rebel by Manjeet Mann

4.0

4/5 A story of a girl with an alcoholic abusive dad and a mum trying to find her identity in his shadow. Her only escape are her friends and running. Or can she rebel?

This book is so reminding me of Rupi Kaur's poetry. The emotional passages are full of trauma, hurt and hope. It is about an immigrant family struggling to live in a new environment and mainly about a man too proud to change.

It resonated with me deeply, because I can relate to the trauma on a deep level. It is a beautiful hard-hitting book about domestic abuse and about revolution. About how the way out of the darkness is difficult, but in the end it's possible. It's worth it.

I highly recommend to read this physically, because the book works with visual ques to break up the text.
