- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Very dark and artfully crafted. Peace Osei is a very troubled girl on a path headed for destruction when we meet her. She's trying to escape past errors and secrets that threaten to destroy her. On her journey, she meets people who may just love her enough to help her pull through.
The book reads easily but it a tear-jerker in places. The dialectical speech is clumsy at times and slows the reader down. Overall, however, the story flows and gain momentums on the way. Koboah's writing style mimics well the anguish Peace feels in the book. I would prefer a little less heavy-handed description in spots. There are also places where too much is told in dialogue that rambles some.
Overall, I recommend the book, but bring tissues.
