- this book had me ugly crying at least 3 times. The story was very immersive and powerful.
- an important story of how women were very valuable in WWII but so often overlooked in history
- The ending times things together very nicely and in a heartwarming way.
- I noticed some issues with the writing in terms of inconsistencies that left me confused and questioning timelines. I’m not sure how these were not caught in editing
- I was upset that we were supposed to feel like there was “one good Nazi”… while I also would feel horrible for killing someone I don’t know if I’d say he was a “good man”
