Leaves you cheering for Adunni!
Published by Brandi V , 12 months ago
I picked this book up after reading Where the Crawdads Sing looking for another strong female character novel. The book was AMAZING. I could not put it down. The writing brings you into the feelings of Adunni as she overcomes each and every obstacle. You feel her joy, her pain and her celebration. I have recommended this book more than any other. Don’t pass it by. Buy the book.
Strong female lead

Adunni is the definition of brave, strong and powerful. She embodies feminism. I feel like I personally know her and have kept her with me after finishing this book. So beautifully written.
