I don't even know what to say about this book. I just finished it and the emotional devastation that I feel has me in tears yet I loved the book. Even though I had a growing sense of dread of that, I knew what would happen because of the foreshadowing and what I had already knew from history, it still was a gut punch. I feel an overwhelming urge to read more of Ruth Sepetys' books.
