Omg was the ending so sad and depressing, but also so inspiring. This was such an interesting and important story, to read about these women who have been forgotten from the war and all that they did. The story or family and friendship and survival was just so beautiful.

OUCH!!!! You know when you’re little and your mom tells you not to touch the stove because it’s hot? And you do it anyway because you just want to know? And then it burns you and hurts like the devil? Yeah……. Reading this book was like that. All my friends told me how much it was going to break my heart and I was like ok sign me up. 

Seriously though… what a good story. Listened to it on audio and even my husband enjoyed it- he’s not a reader.
