Before I explain my rating I just need to state a few trigger warnings.
Domestic abuse, Rape, Prostitution/Dehumanization of Women, and a little bit of Animal Slaughter.
So if you personally are triggered by ANY of these please go into this book knowing that. Don't just read a book because of hype, if you know that it has triggering topics that you are personally triggered by please don't read it.

Okay now onto the review.
So going into this book I already had a feeling of what was going to happen, because I did look up some reviews prior to reading it. I will say this that I was taken by surprise by some of the things that happened in this book. The writing was beautiful and it made me feel like I was in Indravalli with Poornima and Savitha. I felt the pain that they were going through. This book is so Emotional and Important because it shows you how life is in a different country. How easy it is to be taken into sex trafficking. It made me be so thankful that I live in a country where women are treated a bit more equally. yes women are STILL struggling to have equal rights as men, but at least things are better than other places where women are dehumanized and treated like complete trash. I'm not going to lie this book was mad boring at times, and it did put me into a slump. But I am not going to discredit the beauty of this book that shows two strong women and their friendship. I loved Poornima and Savitha so much, I swear if y'all dont know if y'all want to read this book or not. Please do just for their story(if you're not triggered by any of the tw I said earlier) I promise you won't regret it.
