I read the first page and I was instantly hooked. I wanted to know what happens next. That first page was such a clever way to start this book because it pulls you in so deep that you HAVE TO keep reading. So I did. The minute I picked up this book, I couldn’t put it down until I had reached the end. Then I laid in bed and my mind was racing with so many ideas, so many things I felt like I needed to do. All because of this book I felt an urge to get up and do things to better myself and my future. I myself had a hard upbringing and I also thought I was the only one. I found myself with every page, pondering and trying to see how I can make it fit in my life. All the advice that was given and self reflecting hazel would make, I would put myself in her shoes, and man did I learn so much about myself. Multiple times I found myself crying-tears of sadness, then tears of joy. And in the end, I felt like I needed to give her a big hug and thank her for being alive and writing this book! This is a great read and I challenge anyone to read it and try to put it down. I’m thankful for her strength and reliving her entire life just to help the reader. Great work, Hazel, great work!
