I must admit that I found this book slow at first. Luckily, I stick with it. I found Esther to be a really sad character. I could easily feel a lot what she felt, her fears were so real. I think a lot of us go through that I-want-everything phase so I identified with some aspects of her. I liked the simple way of writing, it wasn't fancy, it wasn't pretencious.

Even so, I feel sad after reading this book. But I also feel hopeful. I think that's the hope Sylvia wanted to have in her life but couldn't reach anyway. I am glad she gave hope to Esther. She killed me lots of times.
