Pretty hard to read content wise but I knew that going in. I think the author did well to put sort of a first person perspective on what it was like live in a concentration camp during WWII with more depth and realness that can be obtained from reading a history book. I know this is based on a true story and a real couple but the way it was written I was not totally sold on the love story. The man just decides he loves a random girl and that’s that? They had some sweet moments and I know that the author had a lot of other information to cover but the love story was kind of the whole point so I wish it was flushed out a bit more. 

After reading some other reviews some say this might not be the most historically accurate portrayal, so when reading this please keep this in mind. I don’t think it ruins the book for me as I was more into it from an emotional standpoint but knowing that just don’t take everything as fact.

This is a book about the holocaust and it doesn’t not shy away from gruesome truths that happen at concentration camps
