Another great read by anna stuart.
Heartbreaking true story.
I enjoyed it but I didn't like it as much as the first book. I kept getting lost a bit with the characters and the years and was a lot of flip flopping. But I enjoyed the base of the book and to find out what happened with the Berlin wall.

I’m in a huge reading slump so I’m reading my mom’s books.
This was fine, totally middle of the road. I wasn’t super impressed by the writing, there were times that the style distracted me from the book. The plot, especially Olivia’s, was interesting. Olivia could’ve had a whole book all her own. Kristin had much less to do but I suppose that’s true for all the Westerners.
The iron curtain is super interesting and such a crazy time in history. It’s hard to believe that the wall only came down 45 years ago. Reading a semi first hand experience of what life was like was interesting.
