The story follows a young girl through life and school as she grows up to be a kind young women. The people she meets and the places she goes all teach her little things that in return have a big impact on her life. Reading this story during a stressful time helped me look for the meaning in my own life. Due to this, I was able to see the positive side of things. I just adore books that make me have this happy feeling.
This is a delightful coming of age book, but I happen to have slightly mixed feelings about it. On one hand I loved it and on the other I feel somewhat annoyed. The main character had very positive outlook on life which I found enjoyable a different. At times, I found the writing to be a little confusing.
The bits that bother me are fairly small. There are small grammatical errors and some words were used quite frequently when she described things. I also noticed that some words and sentences were unnecessarily repeated. For example, there was a time that a plant broke out of its pot and she described it as it 'broken through its immediate environment' and one sentence later she once again describes it as 'breaking through its immediate environment'. Had this example been the only occurrence I would not have noted it, however, this was not the case. Lastly, there are times that the characters speak a different language and I wish that a translation had been included. If she didn't want to include it within the story than listing the words used at the beginning or end of the book would have been nice.
Nonetheless, ignoring these things and you have yourself a great story. I truly enjoyed it and will be buying (I read it through Kindle Unlimited) a hard copy of it to go in my home. I would recommend this book to everyone. It is my hope that anyone who reads this will feel the positive note in their own lives that I felt.
