I seriously enjoyed reading this book. I borrowed it from a library a few years ago and fell with the story, though it was painful, character overcame situation, which i loved. After asking so many people and seaching for years, i came across this book again on play store. Gonna buy it before i lose it. Once i started reading, I couldn't put it down until I was done. Tragic, very interesting. I give you 5 stars.

This book gave the insight from a girl willing to risk her life from her actions and by telling this story at all. First read it only for a research project, but it is definitely now one of my favorites.
