emotional hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.75

This was a really impactful memoir. I don't know why I had a hard time getting started on reading this, I read 13 pages Sunday, then nothing on Monday or Tuesday. But once I got really started on Wednesday, I couldn't put it down! I finished most of it all on Wednesday, then only had 28 pages left to go today (Thursday). Definitely feel more educated (no pun intended) after reading this and I'd definitely recommend it to others. I just marked it as 4.75 stars instead of a full 5 stars because there had to have been some reason why I struggled with the beginning, even if I'm not really sure what that reason why.
