If I never read another YA HF WWII novel again, it'd still be too soon.

This book was heartbreakingly beautiful!!! I was openly sobbing by the end, the writing was absolutely brilliant. This was one of the best World War II novels I have ever read!!! Highly recommend.

SUCH A GOOD BOOK, I WAS SHOCKED. I picked it up on a whim at my local library, since i was reading a lot of ww2 books. it did not disappoint

Frank was by far my favorite, he deserved so much better. The story picks up in the third act, but i wasn't bored at any time throughout the book. I'm not sure why, but i wasn't as invested in the relationship between Alex and Charlie. anyways, this is my favorite ww2 book I've ever read, highly recommend

This book was so beautiful and I expected the ending, but I still didn't want it to happen.

It was a really good read. Kinda sad and the lack of the girl's perspective was kind of disappointing, but otherwise a really good read.
