🤦Oh God...what did I just read?! 💔

It's a perfect 5 🌟 read for me. Once I started reading the first few pages, I just couldn't stop reading it. Strange for me to say but when non-fiction tends to read this fictional good I am ready to read non-fiction anytime everywhere.

Yes, this book seems like a fiction because we are not aware of the fact that such situations exist in real. If it was not for this book, I would have been so blind to such important issues which happen in families struggling with poverty, illiteracy, misguided religious beliefs, family violence and undiagnosed serious mental health conditions.

Before I picked up this memoir, I used to believe that it is just about a girl who strived to get education and got successful in achieving that.

But I say it is much, much more than that.

This book is horrifying at times the way some events were really dark, violent and gruesome.
I was on the edge of my seat until I read the back cover of the book.

I understand when the author described how she experienced utter helplessness, getting pulled in opposite directions whether to let go of the family ties or to buckle under everything because it's her family.
The hardest is when it's your own family that hurts you and you are left feeling all alone in the entire world.
I could relate to this book at so many different levels. I am so glad I picked up this book!
