Took a while to get adjusted to the story coming from a 5 year olds perspective but I was thankful it was because I don’t think I could have read this book if it had been from the mom’s. It was not an easy read, emotional and heavy but I had to know how it ended and I knew there was some hope for the ending. There were some details that felt pointless and sometimes I didn’t fully believe the narrator was a 5 year old child, but overall a thought provoking story that will stay with me for a while. It is scary to think this book is loosely based on a true story.
