5.0

This book is inspiring me a lot. Education is important and it's real. I like how Tara wrote everything and understandable. I found a lot of good things like history, feminism, religion, and morality. I hope Tara has a great life. Thank you for writing this book. Thank you so much, Tara.

This book kinda scary and emotional. The character is a little girl who has abusive father. The plot is complicated. I feel like I listen to kid. I didnt really like the book but, this book is good. Just not my cup of tea.
