COULDVE been a five start if WHATEVER THE HELL that happened at the end just didn’t. because the scene had me stressing. toes curling and sweating. the core six was so unrecognizable. but other than that i liked this book🤭

like i was liking this book until i wasn’t idk it would happen a lot while reading. sometimes it just wasn’t adding up for me but an enjoyable read nonetheless.
i was loving the ending until i wasn’t and then i was loving it again? idk i’m telling you i’m confused about this book just how chani was confused on the relationship

nonetheless i love alex and poppy together!!

i read this book for school and i actually liked this one! it was so interesting to see the holocaust from so many different perspectives. watching how all of the three stories connected as truly so so beautiful. i would recommend this!!

DTB. honestly so upset about that 3rd act [fill in blank]. i don’t know if it’s because of how long it took me to read this book but i was a bit underwhelmed. i don’t know why. it honestly could be my slump and maybe after i analyze the book i’ll appreciate it more. i do like this book and the development but i think i need mind space to understand it DEEPER (if that makes any sense)
