Felt incomplete submitted by russelan on June 20, 2022, 8:31pm I appreciated learning about a piece of history I knew nothing about, but the story felt kind of rushed, incomplete. I didn't feel like I got to know the characters well enough. It was an interesting premise but I wanted more out of it

Excellent historical fiction submitted by ahlalejini on July 16, 2022, 9:18am I love Ruta Sepetys and this was a great read about something I knew very little about

Wish it was longer submitted by alisonhatch94 on August 16, 2022, 1:49pm I knew nothing about this part of Romanian history and I think the author is great at writing historical fiction. I always enjoy the stories and learn so much from her books. I do wish there was more to this story, I agree that it felt a little rushed and things seemed to happen very quickly all at the end.

Love Historical Fiction submitted by vtabor on June 15, 2023, 11:22am This book reminded me why I love historical fiction. You are able to see and learn about historical events (in this case, the Romanian Revolution of 1989) through the perspective of a fictional literary narrative. The short chapters made this a very digestible read. Especially great if you love novels taking place in Cold War Eastern Europe.
