This book is somewhat relatable, although i've not fled a war, as someone who left their country by blood and is faced with the challenges of integrating and creating a home in a new place, i relate on some levels. To be honest, at times I was hesitant to pick the book up and continue reading because the scene I had got to I knew was going to be hard to hear. I shed a couple of tears, in a couple of different places, but what struck me was how quickly I was invested at the beginning of the book, and because of that, how emotional I got at one of the tragedies that happened relatively early in the book. I don't think that can be said for very many books and stories. I thought the little bit of writing before a chapter was a really nice touch, I looked forward to those a lot! It sort of felt like I was reading them with someone else, and that this book wasn't just a story about x, y, and z, it was more like a discussion and analysis of the struggles and topics that come up.

This was a fast pace, emotional read. From the start I felt connected to the characters and willed for a happy ending for them. Cecile created a Solemn tone which added to the context of the story. Even though the story was fast paced, I still felt gripped and attached to the characters
