Why read it?

1 author picked Zero as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is a fabulous book about self-love and self-acceptance. Zero does not think she counts like all the other numbers. She sees herself as empty inside.

From Jennifer's list on building self-esteem and self-love.
