"I love this book so much because it did the 2 main things I think a book should do. 1- have characters that you love and feel that you know, you love them for the good and the bad. 2-Teach you something you maybe never considered to learn more about. I would love to read more about Africa in this time, or just Africa in general."

"Simple, but amazing story. It really touched my heart. The characters are people you come to love. The ending is so sad though"
