Having seen quite a few negative reviews I admittedly went into this with quite low expectations but I really enjoyed it! It's quite shocking and emotional, with a few twists that I didn't expect. If this wasn't based on a true story I'd note that some events seemed a little unlikely, but obviously that's not the case and it contributed to the story's beauty.

This WW2 coming of the age novel mixed with grief, romance, acceptance and so much more will hit with readers of every age.

Millie Bobby Brown's debut novel strikes at the heart strings in this lovely historical fiction.

I was crying, gasping and surprised by this book. I did think that the writing could have been better in some areas, but overall was a beautiful novel.
