“When I learned the Spanish word for (succeed,) I thought it was kind of ironic that the word (exit) is embedded in it. Like the universe was telling me that in order for me to make something of this life, I’d have to leave home, my neighborhood, my friends.” pg. 2
What I liked: I thought Jade was a fully developed and realistic young teenager character. She was smart, not overtly sexual or crude and I thought most of the circumstances she faced were realistic. I loved the community aspect of this novel, and I loved the mentorship program that was at the center of the story.
I wish the church discipled their own like the world does. We have lost that in our modern living I think.
