This is not a “bad book” or poor writing but it really wasn’t for me. Despite having a plot that moved along I was frequently bored, and when I wasn’t bored I was very sad, and when I wasn’t sad/bored I found it typically predictable. I think if you have an interest in eugenics and/or love a slow drama with little payoff this would be for you but I found it upsetting with very little point

Leah's journey is intense, and makes me grateful that we live in other times than that.

This book is so tragic and so wonderful at the same time. I can’t get over the childhood and the pain that this girl had to endure but I’m so thankful she found such a pure love through all of that. It goes to show that people are placed in our life for a reason because I truly believe he kept her going.

An intriguing read I immediately picked up after reading the author’s newest release! This story is heartbreaking but needs to be told. I only took one star off because the ending was wrapped up a little too fast for me.
