[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recently finished the book as well. After seeing it mentioned all over BookTok, I felt compelled to read it. I didn’t love it!

I understand it to be a philosophical think piece, but it didn’t land for me. Sure, I had questions: Who? What? Where? Why? But from a psychological standpoint, and coming from someone who worksas a psych major and as someone who works in the field) everything else makes complete sense, especially when considering everything we know about the mind and psyche.

I felt the same way! The Child felt strangely like a pick me. Even in the cage, she was oddly wise beyond her years and intelligence level. It didn’t add up. [b]No one had taught her anything yet she was so precocious and blatantly sassy?

I get the Holocaust connection. I get the philosophical questions. But I just didn’t find it that deep. And I agree, the most thought provoking questions WERE the who/what/when/where/how. Everything else is basic Homo sapien brain functioning. [/quote]

To me this points to the universal way of all teenagers, no matter the circumstances in which they are raised.[/quote]
