Girl by Edna O'Brien

4.0

I was torn on whether or not to give this 4 or 5 stars - I settled with 4, perhaps it deserves 5! This is a truly devastating story which follows one girl who was part of the Chibok schoolgirls, kidnapped from their school by Boko Haram. The writing styles is engaging and captivating as it quickly moves through her life before, during and after the kidnapping. Trigger warnings needed for this one - it's brutal - but a must-read.
