This book by Melissa was quite the ride! As someone with a huge passion and having worked and learned in the advocacy surrounding human trafficking for years, this book was a refreshingly honest look at what truly goes on, the repercussions thereof and even goes so far as to tell a story of hope and healing after traumatic experiences.
The characters were relatable and there is a simplicity to the writing style that was not only refreshing, but kept me engaged and turning pages long into the night.
The realities of Human Trafficking aren’t shied away from, but in it’s straightforward approach, I found the story telling did it justice without dragging the viewer through the nitty gritty details. Koslin did an amazing job balancing honesty with tactfulness and I highly recommend this book!
The only thing that just didn’t resonate with me as well was the more shallow writing style. I wanted to know more and see more of their life, and the ending was so quick, I would have loved just a SMIDGE more to get to experience the full ending of the story.
But this will be a book I recommend to those who want to read stories about trafficking and as a resource paired with a story that will leave you with a book hangover!
Content: Mentions of human trafficking, physical attraction, and the struggle with overcoming trauma from SA and abuse. No language and overall it’s handled incredibly clean and tactful!
