4.0
I found this book to keep me intrigued as all Ruta Sepetys books do but I didn’t find myself learning as much on this one. I also found the plot to be predictable at times and Josie (the main character) to be naive. I would still recommend it but with a trigger warning to anyone with sexual trauma and not above Ruta’s other books.
