I realized that being ashamed of who I was and how I spoke limited my potential. From that moment, I decided to actively engage in my education. No longer would I be the girl that would politely decline to read out loud. No longer would I be the girl who was laughed

Another thing that I liked about the book is that at the beginning, the wake/vigil/funeral was so accurately described. Funerals are awkward, tiring, and numbing. Meursault

This is the type of book which truly makes you stop and think about the life you are living. For me, I have been spending the last year worrying about my grandfather, who has been battling with the diagnosis of Stage IV Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. This book really hit home with me, reminding me what my grandfather has gone through and how lucky my family is to be where we are today. At this point in time, my grandfather is cancer free, and every day I remind myself that we truly cannot take anything for granted.

I liked the detail that the author went into about the psychological aspects of the characters in making the decisions that they made.
