Intense. This book was so intense and I found myself not wanting to put it down and wanted to continue to read it no matter how late it got or how early in the morning it was, I wanted to find out what would happen to Franka and John. I just wish the ending would have been longer and wasnt so rushed to end. I am very happy with the ending and cried like a baby. The writing was amazing and how the switch between the characters let me know what each one was thinking and how they truly felt. Not only that but this book is merely a reflection of what is happening today all around the world, especially in America. Amazing book. I recommend anyone to read that enjoys a good historical fiction and thriller book.
