But i5+++ Stars- I’m so grateful my Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ friends put this book into my world- THANK YOU Marion!! Grab the tissues because I cried several times. But it’s not a depressing book it’s filled with emotion, love, loss, inspiration, happy tears and so so much more! I love books with family dynamics and this story pulled it all together so well with its incredible character development. The characters are are perfectly balanced with love, hope, compassion, flaws, and they each work endlessly to pick themselves up and move through this world the best that they can. I can’t recommend this book enough, definitely a favorite, and I loved it so much!!!...more

But halfway through it kinda sizzled out and I found myself skimming a bit. I enjoyed the characters and will be thinking about them a lot though. The ending was kinda depressing but it made sense....more

So many well developed characters. The storyline was mostly predictable but still so great. It’s about a girl navigating teenage life after losing her mom at age 14, but it’s not overly sad or depressing. In the author’s note we found out that she too had lost her mom at the same age. If you enjoy YA, this one is a must....more

So4 Stars- There were things I loved and things I didn’t but as usual I still always love CoHo’s writing. Not my regular 5 stars for this one though. Some of the characters grabbed at my heart. The teenage romance and the ending were a bit cheesy for me. And unfortunately the audio was terrible so that might be knocking down my rating some too. This was predictable yet a quick and easy read....more

The audio version made it even better because it has music mixed throughout (but not tacky like some can be when they do that) and several outstanding narrators. There are three intertwined stories that tell about the Holocaust, orphans at an orphanage and segregation/Japanese Internment Camp. All of the characters are easy to love and relatable. This book is classified as middle grade but I think it’s for all ages as it’s very inspiring and uplifting on so many levels....more
