Rates 2 because I managed to finish it but I thought it was incredibly twee and cringy. Interesting enough topic - especially given that it was based on true stories however it is not sophisticated story telling. The plot falls apart as the book progresses and the “twist” envokes an eye roll it’s so predictable. So much of the book is taken up with repetitive descriptions of the brutality of Auschwitz and not enough time spent on character or plot development.
