If you're going to write a story about how Nazis are also complex people YOU HAVE TO WRITE ABOUT PEOPLE AFFECTED BY RACISM!! I cannot believe this was written around the time of George Floyd's murder, she did not take the chance to learn that racism is a systemic thing, or to understand any non-white persons perspective. The main characters struggle with her friend being a Nazi was not made believable, the Nazi character was not believable either. There are two characters mentioned once that are not from germany and then the main character doesnt talk to them AT ALL. the only reason i finished this book (and skimmed the last 100 pages) is because the writing style was so good and it was a present. It had some good moments when the book talked about nature and living in the countryside and also some good moments regarding grief; but it scares me that people actually like this book unquestioned.
