From just the title, I pictured this book as a very insightful self-help book. But, it turns out I was wrong. Although I can still say that the title captures the true essence of the content of the book.

From the title of the book, it seemed like an insightful self help book. I could already picture the lessons one would get from reading this book. Seeing the title initially would get readers pondering on its deep meaning which is exciting.

I immediately thought of people that use others to get what they want. Kind people go through a lot and always get the brunt end of the stick when it comes to things like these.

The title really hits home—it’s a reminder that people often support you until your thinking challenges their expectations. It speaks to the struggle of staying true to yourself when others prefer you to simply follow along.

As an open-minded reader, I really did not think so much about this book title, however I was curious on what kind of stories and applicable morals can be drawn from a book with such title. The book title seemed abit catchy.

The title of the book is well-chosen, as it captures Monica’s journey from her early life in an average family to her courageous decision to immigrate to another country. The book delves into her bravery, resilience, and even her moments of vulnerability

The title surely is catchy. The moment I read the title I couldn’t help but agree. And it reflects on the book’s theme perfectly. The title alone promises a heartfelt read.

The cover and the title create the first impression of the book-urging a prospective reader to pick it up to check out the description. The title does just that. Only after reading the book will I be able to comment on how suitable it was overall.

The title first paints a picture with mixed feelings, but to get the gist, you need to follow Monica. I don't know if there's maybe just maybe something else that could have been more appealing, but retain the writer's point. I bet before the first word was inked, those were the words circling, and the writer decided not to change to maintain originality. Those are my thoughts on this.

It appears that this book surrounds around the true meaning of the title. People tend to love us only until our actions are towards selfless direction and favorable to them.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

Reading the title immediately reminded me of an unforgettable experience I had with my family members two years ago. It was all rosy and I was well liked until I started to form by own opinions and pay closer attention to my instincts. So the title of this book feels personal to me.
