Super thought-provoking! I definitely feel super grateful to have come across this book.

This book has changed my life.

I have spent so much time hating my body and I am not going to do it anymore. This book was a gift and I am so grateful to start on this journey.

I am signing a life long contract to radically love myself.

It’s not going to be easy, but I’m the only person who has to live with me at the end of the day. I want time with myself to be a celebration and not a chore.

Definitely want to have this in my classroom if I ever teach middle school or high school.

Both my parents are from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Although they did not have to face the same hardships that Sandra had to endure, I wanted to read more stories about people who grew up where my parents did. I'm super glad that I picked this book up.

3.5/5 stars.

I may need to revisit this one in the future.

3.5/5 stars.

This was really eye-opening.

3.5/5.

I really enjoyed this one. It got me thinking a little bit. I liked the first one better, but this one is good :)

3.75/5 stars

Gabie in high school would have loved this, I would have cried and screamed and needed to make a video about it right away. However, me right now, I’m just not about Hugh school stuff anymore. I really enjoyed this book ( I’ve never read a narrative about a black girl who grew up in the Midwest! Totally relatable!) I’m just not the specific audience for this one. I really enjoyed it though :)

This was just okay.

This was a really sweet story. High school me would have absolutely LOVED this. I enjoyed it a lot.
