This book WRECKED me. It was beautifully written, the characters were memorable and the plot never felt slow. Everything had a purpose.

I just wish the ending wasn't so short.

Great book. Great story about a girl during World War II in Germany, but I will warn you that there are some sad parts. Overall, the book is such a great heartfelt story, that it is worth the sad parts.
