2010 F.A.B. Bookclub pick # I.❤️. F.A.B.

While I found the historic aspects of the book fascinating, it was a fairly depressing read. I was holding onto hope that it would become uplifting at some point. There is no happiness in this book. I don't know if I'd recommend it to anyone. It wasn't bad, but It wasn't amazing either.

Audrey I found nothing uplifting at all, either, not even a little joke.

So, very, bleak. 😬❤️📚


Audrey Yes; I need at least a LITTLE something of light or hope.

Yasmin Allithy The hilarious thing that I tried to read it while I was depressed because I thought books would help me to feel anything. It almost led me to commiting a suicide 😂. I am not joking but I am fine now.

I totally believe it. There are some books and shows that will make me feel that way.


Alexis I agree ! It was very depressing story wise.
