My loan expired. I can’t renew it because other people are waiting on Libby for it. Maybe some other time.

By far my favourite thing about this was exactly the promise in the title: the fact that this is the diary of a young girl.

Anne is such a beautiful narrator, so much alike any thirteen year old girl: with her own friendships and teenage dramas and gossips, with her hopes and knowledge of love and romance, her yearning to be truly seen and understood. There's so much introspection in this book, and so much trust in the beauty of the world as a result, the hope of it almost crushing.

I don't think we as humans can truly process the huge numbers that have created the catastrophes of such massacres as Shoah. To have the youngest Frank as the face of some parts of it, I think it can help in bringing it closer to us, understanding the humane, lived experiences of those times. And dear, darling Anne called herself the lucky one, times and times over.
