W. O. W. This book left me grappling with so many feelings. She really didn’t hold back. This book didn’t go the way I imagined it would, but it’s more impactful because of that.

I’ve always wanted to read this book but I’ve always been so intimidated by it. I’m so glad I finally just went for it. I gained so much from this read, and in so many areas. There was food for thought in regards to religion, God Himself outside of religion, politics, the nature of man, and so much more. I’ve also had songs from the musical stuck in my head nonstop this whole month while reading it. 😂 Vive la république!! 🚩🚩
