I loved this story, especially once we got to the second half! The characters were smart and heartfelt. I loved the way the story was revealed to the reader, and how new information kept changing the way we saw what had come before.

Wow. Utterly unputdownable.

Read the summary. Sounds good, right?

Open the book. The first sentence is: "I AM A COWARD." Sounds good, right?

Then you start reading. And reading. Then you pause. Unless you are a really, REALLY, smart genius person you probably won't understand it all.

But I hope you kept reading through the not so interesting parts because, OH BOY, this book is amazing.

Once you get to Maddie's part, your stomach will drop, your eyes will water, and then you will cry. (VERY LOUDLY.)

So yeah, I hope you read it.

This is a top five book of mine and this was the second time I read it. The 5 star rating held up. Love this book!

What an amazing book. I can't believe it's a novel.

I thought I was sick of World War II books. Then I read Code Name Verity. Exceptional! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I'm having a hard time admitting that I'm actually done with this book. I certainly don't want to be done with it. I think I'll pretend I'm not.
