Read for school. This book was incredibly sad but had such an important message. Search for trigger warnings before reading. I think it’s important for people to read about these types of stories to learn what happens in the world. But the ending felt flat, abrupt, and not the best way to end Lakshmi’s story. It didn’t give the reader any type of closure and left it open for interpretation which wasn’t my favorite.

God, this one is painful. But having it written in verse makes it easier to deal with because it doesn't linger too long on the specifics of the abuse the main character faces. However, having taught this book in the high school classroom setting, I truly believe it is one that needs to be read.
