Incredibly unique in every way. It was not only hard for me to put down, but it was hard for me to stop thinking about the contents of this book. It’s a heart breaking, isolating, and at times hopeful story. 

Highly recommend reading the afterword that explains how the authors past and identity most likely play a role in this story. Really made the book that much more special.

Heavy, heartbreaking, and incredibly important. I wish nothing but the worst to every Zionist allowing these atrocities to occur.

Finished book #2 in Lindos!

This was adorable. Nothing more to say besides that. A little cheesy at points but the rest was great!
