5.0

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it had me smiling and crying (first book to make me cry), I am thinking it’s because as a mother and reading the struggles this character Elsa faced really hit home and how everything she did was for her children, it was honestly so well written and kept me intrigued the whole time! I would love to see this as a movie. 
I was shocked by the ending, and shocked that certain characters never came back to the story I kept hoping for that, but I was happy with the happiness that did occur for this family in the end. 
I recommend this to anyone of all ages! 
However this book is very direct, it does not blanket any topics so may be a little heavy some of the scenes for some people.
