A fun, light romance. It was a cute read. A few moments that kind of took me out of the storyline, but overall I enjoyed it for what it is.

I thought the book was funny because the family thought of silly names.

I like this beef because I can read it myself

I didn’t realize this was a book for middle schoolers when I picked it up . That being said the subject matter is very deep, murder, abuse , child lose and grief . I couldn’t gauge the time setting . The 13 year olds have to help out and work crabbing, culling chickens etc and they even smoke cigarettes. I feel it would be hard for children to connect to this book today.

This book captured my interest even more because of the one kidnapping and efforts Gabriel went to to save the kidnapped person. I will not spoil the book so that is as far as I will go.

This book made me feel happy and sad

It was fine, though not this author’s best. The characters never cohered, but the climactic moments were exciting.

I loved how they made cupcakes that they liked best. I love cupcakes.

Takes me into the land of Hilo with extreme details

This book is truly a masterpiece, depicting the tragedies of the Holocaust, and creating a powerful voice for the future.
