The only reason i do not give this five stars is because the formatting is a little weird. I see complaints about how this is not in depth, so it is being ranked lower, but I believe that is what makes this story all the more raw. Of course it would not be detailed and introspective, she is a ten year old girl being forced into this, and not only is knowing that she is show young, it shows in her recounting of the events, which makes it more sad and helps to truly grasp the struggle of Nujood and girls like her.
