This book is so beautiful. I would recommend it to literally everyone. Reading about a group of woman that escaped a prison not knowing what to expect but still having hope in finding other people. <The way they have so much respect for the dead every time the find a new bunker or when one of them dies. The way this woman decides to follow her dream to keep looking after she’s the only one left.> The way she doesn’t know anything other than what the other women have told her and how she wants to know everything.
This book leaves me in tears, questions and a smile.
