The Light of the Fireflies by Paul Pen

4.0

Fascinating, devastating, infuriating... every time I thought I knew where this book was going I didn't. I wouldn't say there are huge twists or surprises but just a story about bad decisions and the consequences and just asking yourself what would you do for your family? Oh man the end got me. Morally gray characters, morally gray ending. Like I said, infuriating, but I'll be thinking about it for a while. It was a bit slow through the first half for me, but once it picked up I finished it very quickly!
