I really loved this book, and I don't have a great track record with YA historical fiction. I usually find it watered down and bland. This was not watered down at all, it was horrific at parts, and made me want to put it down to regain composure. I think it's an important read, but if you're a sensitive reader this isn't the book for you.
Recommend for anyone wanting a hard hitting young adult historical fiction, anyone wanting to learn more about WW2 ship wrecks/disasters, or anyone wanting to learn more ww2 history from a different scope.
