Idk fiction I guess but it’s very good. It’s very realistic.
Like I felt myself in her shoes.
is that the one where she turns out to be a mamzeres?
I think that's the one, it's from 2004. Says it's based on a true story. Ends up she could marry certain people but her children would be mamzerim so she chooses to remain single. |
Yes. That’s it.

Penguin, maybe you can edit your post to take out the spoiler? Most people don't want to read the ending before the book.

Why wouldn't she get married and not have children?

No I meant because I grew up in an orthodox religion... There were so many relatable moments, like when she stays up all Saturday because she can’t work on Sunday. Or feeling uncomfortable when her roommates were dressed immodestly.
The education part was a little relatable, too, even though she was homeschooled, and I was not.
