Multiple people were telling me to read this for ages and I kept putting it off. It sounded sad and it also seemed like it would drag (over 500 pages about the Holocaust from the perspective of death? Wow!). Not from being uninteresting, just from being a lot.

It is a lot. But it's also not so much about rhe Holocaust, it more just about the war, its devastation and the personal story of a girl who lived through it.

It's heart breaking, of course. But there's also beautiful moments of love and friendship.

The first couple of chapters (parts? Idk, the book is organized strangely) were harder for me to get through because I didn't care about the characters much yet. But I an so so glad I stuck with it and read and enjoyed this book.

Really great book, a few of the characters didn't have much to too them literally and figuratively.
