  • Gripping page turner

    It’s shocking that the author is five years younger than me and yet basically grew up in what should easily be classed as a Cult. I’ve got Jewish friends but they don’t live by dated strict rules (and often some shocking ones - watch the Netflix adaptation to see what I mean). But the author doesn’t slate the Hasidic community as such, just says it wasn’t for her and that she’s proud to be Jewish still - but enjoys living in the real world where she can wear jeans, lipstick, heels and grow her natural hair and have it on show in public. My only criticism is that there were so many words relating to Jewish beliefs and practices that unless you’re Jewish yourself you had no idea what she was talking about - it would have been better had their been a glossary at the bottom of each page or something then you’d have a better understanding of what they were on about.

  • A compellingly honest book, unusual and riveting.

    An amazing book which I have just started reading after watching the series on Netflix.
