She's a good friend and devoted to learning and making li...
I enjoyed this book. Not the best I’ve ever read, but certainly not mediocre or bad. I enjoyed Miri’s character very much and I also liked her close relationship with her family. Moreover, the ending is not what you might expect while being extremely fulfilling.
