I have read this book a few times, but not since I was a teenager and I forgot how raw and emotional and graphic and detailed this is. As I was reading this book I started to feel like I was 14 all over again, like we understood each other. And then there would be another mention of the outside world and I would remember the reality of her situation. 
I finished this at work so I had a hard time holding back my tears as I read the afterword. I try not to think about all the work Anne could have done with the years of her life that were stolen. Instead, it seems imperative to thank Anne's father Otto for having followed his daughters wishes and allowed the publication of her work.
"I don't want to have lived in vain like most people. I want to be useful or bring enjoyment to all people, even those I've never met. I want to go on living even after my death!"
