I remembered a good portion of this book from when I read it in middle school, and it was better even than I remembered. This book is about what the title says- a girl forced to be on her own who finds a way to survive and thrive. It's empowering, and, though she does at the very end get married, it's not about that. It's about Sarah discovering who she is and finding the confidence to be that person.
probably the least invested I have been in a histfic novel all year. good historical content I just could not have been paid to care about Sarah and those around her tbh. I think that maybe the writing style took me out of it completely. that is all I have to say.
