This book was definitely worth the hype it got. It was gripping, heartbreaking and breathtaking all at the same time. This is based on true events and it’s such a beautiful story of love, but doesn’t hold back on uncovering the disturbing truths of the Concentration camps. The only thing I disliked about this book was the language. It definitely had the potential to be more immersive and emotional, however I honestly loved it and think everyone needs to read this. The author Heather Morris took several years to write Lale's story in her book with the input of the main protagonist himself and even becoming a very good friend with him. She has ultimately written a story Lale would be very proud of and which tells of his and Gita's tale of wanting to be together through one of the worst and sickening periods of our history with the utmost care and consideration. Compassionately written with sensitivity, its emotive, thought provoking, awe inspiring and certainly puts your own everyday problems into perspective.
