I truly went into this book not knowing much, so I feel like I should’ve been a little more prepared. For the content and time period, it didn’t feel too terribly heavy or intense even though what they were going through definitely was. I think some of the worst things were brushed over. The audiobook got me through the majority of the book, but I enjoyed reading it physically to finish it up and sit with the story snd characters a little bit longer. Overall, I enjoyed it but I’m gonna need a little break from these literary books!
