WJPS 12th grader Aisha Ismail said “I think the book was good and in depth in terms of the topic of domestic violence, even if I have conflicting opinions about the author. The movie was alright, but it didn’t go as in depth as the book. Which I understand because there isn’t as much you can do in a movie compared to a novel.“
