Reviews

[Katja Labonté · Rating 5 out of 5]

4.7 stars (5/10 hearts). This is a super short, simple little nonfiction, but it brought tears to my eyes. I absolutely loved the idea of celebrating your birthday by giving to the community around you, especially with the extra twist of getting other people to do it and choose how they used the money. Seeing how far it went and the difference it made was just heartwarming!
