This book is a good, but hard read. It shows the hardship of life when poverty limits your means, and how easily it can to be trafficked and what happens when you are. Although it doesn't go into graphic detail, there are some harsh moments.

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.

Powerful. Simple language, short short chapters, but packs a punch. Remember to read the chapter titles, too.
