It was really interesting to read about what Janet's been through. Everyone can learn something from this book.

Honestly, I'm glad this book was so short and I was able to read it quickly, because the writing and characters were only okay. But I did love the concept - there just wasn't any depth to it.

At first I thought it was going to be a bit boring (I honestly only wanted to read the book before seeing the movie; if there wasn't a movie out I doubt I would have even read it), but the book turned out to be pretty good.

Very inspiring, and it's always fascinating to learn about Indian cultures - it's sad to know that young girls are married off to strangers without being able to seek opportunities for themselves.
