I listened to this book on audiobook, and I really liked the story throughout. There are a lot of historical events mentioned in the book, but the book still seems focused rather than all over the place. I liked how Ariel's struggles with dysgraphia were portrayed as well as the family conflicts over her sister's marriage to someone outside their faith and ethnicity. However, I really had a hard time with the 2nd person voice--it really threw me off and I couldn't figure out why the story NEEDED to be told that way.
