• I loved the ending — the plot twist genuinely caught me by surprise.
• My favorite part was hearing Minka’s story; it offered such a compelling perspective.
• I felt it provided deep insight into the emotional impact and really humanized the characters
• It brought home the reality that this happened to real people
• The best friend dying and the sister killing her baby I found the most sad
• I think the periods in the book where you didn't know what had happened to the family members, if they were alive or dead, also represented what those people would have experienced
