I never like rating peoples' personal experiences, especially when it comes to the sort of things that Ahed has lived through. The star rating is just for optics.

This is such a heartbreaking book. I knew that I had to steel myself going in, but it still hits so hard. I wanted to get a perspective on the history of and current state of the Palestine-Israel conflict and boy did I get one. It's a good starting point, though I will say there is a lot of repeating information, but the series of events flow naturally for a biography.

I would recommend it to those looking to find individual Palestinian perspectives to educate themselves on the matter.
