This was a good book until the ending. It’s like the author didn’t finish the book. I was so upset by the ending.

I have learned so much from this book. I have fallen in love with the characters. the narrator is very good at this book.

Great narrating!enjoyed the characters very much

This was long, like 15 hours, but it kept me engrossed. Until the end. Even for a book with a sequel, this was no ending. Nothing was resolved and no point to the future. But the descriptions of life on the fringes, in the Jim Crow South, were vivid, horrifying, fascinating.

Good storyline with characters you come to care for. Would have loved to complete the second book.

This book open my eyes to the untold story of family members and how you can make it through any despairing situation

How do I write a review that conveys what a beautiful and heartbreaking story this is? This story really touched me and the narrator was perfect. Most importantly, it gave me a different perspective and made me think more about current racial issues in the US. It’s hard for me to understand how different life is as a person of color and how some of us take our lives for granted. Other than the racial themes, the author does a phenomenal job of telling the story through the eyes of a pre-teen girl growing up in the south and all the emotions that go along with it. I’m not sure what happened at the end. It’s almost as if the author finished a sentence and decided she was done. That was disappointing but overall the book was great!

The narrator was phenomenal! She seemed to effortlessly be all the characters in the book. Heart breaking story that you just hoped would result in triumph for some of its characters, but that wasn’t the case. Great writing though. I needed more and didn’t like the introduction of the sequel nor the way it ended.

Great book but very emotional and shocking.

A fast-paced book with amazing insight into a mental disorder. I did not enjoy, however, the unfinished sequel to the story.
