filipacmiranda's review against another edition
4.5
In many ways, June Elbus was a character I found easy to identify with. The way Carol Rifka Brunt wrote her allowed me to see her point of view. Therefore, her emotions frequently became mine, making the whole experience unique. At the end of the book, I was left somewhat disconcerted.
Despite all the times June takes reprehensible positions and acts inadequate, she does not simply feel victimised by circumstances. When the time comes, she admits different perspectives on the events that have marked and defined her. She understands her role in situations that have shaped and defined those around her - namely, her older sister, Greta. Thus, sincerity is ultimately one of her greatest strengths in this book.
