Babar Raja’s Personal Review

Reading this on a Ferry from Stockholm to Helsinki

I read this book while traveling on a massive ferry moving across the Baltic Sea from Stockholm to Helsinki. The cold wind on the deck felt just like the atmosphere in the book. Let me share how it felt…

When I was sitting near the window watching the dark waves, the part where Juliette describes her loneliness really got to me. It felt so real. The way she felt isolated from the world hit home while I was in the middle of the sea. I felt her pain and her quiet hope in every page.

It took me 5 nights to finish it. I would read about 70 pages every night in my cabin. This book connected with me because it reminds us that even when we feel broken, we have a purpose. My honest rating: 4.6/5.

What I Learned From This Book

I learned that our greatest weaknesses can often become our greatest strengths. Juliette spent her whole life thinking she was a monster because she was different. But once she found the right people and the right cause, she realized she was a hero. This book taught me that we shouldn’t let others define who we are. Even if the whole world says you are one thing, you have the power to choose another path. It’s a beautiful lesson about self-discovery and finding the courage to stand up for yourself, even when you are terrified. True power comes from the heart, not just from what we can do with our hands.
