adventurous dark emotional sad medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

I chose to read this book for my 9th grade (14 yrs old) summer reading. I've always loved historical fiction and the WWII period. This book still makes me emotional when thinking about it, it was sad but an amazing read. Highly recommend.

I wouldn't say anything is too graphic, but the book does deal with some major topics.
