5.0

I read a LOT of WWII books, but for some reason this one just gutted me and hit me in the core of my being. I think because it’s the first one I’ve read that was an account from someone inside the camps and telling the story of what they did to survive and help others survive. I wish this was mandatory reading for students to understand history on an intimate level. The love story was beautiful. The stories of friendships was beautiful. And finding these moments of beauty among the bleakness of the story, were the glimmers that kept me going, because I had to know how it ended. 

 I think this book deserves five hearts instead of stars. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
