July was a very busy month for me, and, as a result, I wasn’t able to read as often as I would’ve liked. It took me nearly two weeks to read this book, and, usually, when I go days between reading sessions, it’s hard for me to get back into the story. That was not the case for this book! Although it was slower-paced, the writing style, the characters, and the narrator kept me invested.

I smiled, I thought, and I cried…a lot.

I really enjoyed many things about this book, but especially Liesel’s healthy relationships, especially with Hans and Max.
