dark emotional hopeful informative sad slow-paced

4.0

Very interesting and very sad especially the afterword. I learned and read parts of this in school, but never the whole thing. I do have to say don’t go into this expecting like an action packed diary because it’s not it’s this poor girls diary where she shared her preteen/teenage thoughts.

I decided not the give this book a proper rating as I just wasn’t comfortable with doing so. But this book was heartbreaking and inspiring. For such a young girl she had beautifully profound thoughts and taught many lessons that I think everyone could learn something from. If Anne was able to grow older, I am certain she would have continued to be a courageous, self aware and loving individual and turned out to be an incredibly talented and successful author! 💗💗

It’s a must read for all of us. I’ve felt broken after finishing it, which I didn’t expect going in. The diary is so well written, it is as if you’re looking at the world through her eyes. It’s a miracle we have an opportunity to read it. Let’s remind ourselves what atrocities humans can do if we let ourselves be heartless and discriminative.
