3.75

I was going to give this 3⭐️ as I wasn’t really invested for 90% of the book - I was a little bored which was disappointing since I was really hoping to love the book due to its popularity. However I brought it up to 3.75⭐️, I don’t think it would get 4⭐️ since it took me a long time to get into, but I did feel it picked up a lot in the last couple of chapters and eventually it did make me cry. The last few lines of the book are beautiful ❤️

An incredibly well written WWII story. Not an easy read of course,  but  my favourite WWII story I’ve read to date. Also the first book ever to make me properly cry - the writing really draws you in and connects you with the time and the characters. Definitely recommend
