Book Review of The Life She Was Given

The Life She Was Given

Very sad and depressing book. At the same time it was a well written story. I felt so strongly for Lilly. No matter what happened it seemed she was always given a raw deal. The story of the circus and how Lilly came to work there was very interesting. It also had the story of Julia in which both stories tie in together. I would've given it 4 stars if the ending didn't feel so vague. It was satisfying all the way through the book but at the end I felt it could've tied together better. All in all I highly recommend the book only if you can handle a sad read.
