I loved spending time with these unique characters in this world that I knew so little about. Sepetys's historical research is top-notch without ever overshadowing the story.

I loved this book because it was a heartbreaking story. The author writes with a great voice and emotion for a teenage girl.

She grows up in poverty and constantly takes care of other people she cares about, except herself. Despite not growing up like her, I related to a lot of the emotions and events she experiences in the story.

I kept wondering what would happen next to the heroine in the story as she always gets into trouble and has to figure out how to get out of her predicament.
