This book... I cried multiple times. It is such a tough, heavy read, but also is so beautiful by the end. So many beautiful quotes.

I really was grateful that each chapter switched times from past to present, because the past was so so hard to swallow. The present day chapters were like a pallette cleanser. Doing this also helped to build some of the tension of EACH timeline. I really liked it.

The only reason it is not a 5 star rating is because of the "romance" story. It was a little unnecessary, though not necessarily bad...? Idk

It was a slow start for the first third of the book and slightly frustrating because the connection between the two timelines was so unclear for so long. But once the dots started connecting, I couldn’t get to the end fast enough.

I really enjoyed this. The realistic look into some of the horrors of these children’s homes was eye opening and sickening at a lot of times. I’m glad I got to experience this story and I’m able to share it with others.

3.5 stars rounded up… An important story that needs to be told! Dual timeline: the historical storyline was heartbreaking, but the present-day storyline was pretty predictable. Some key plot elements were wrapped up too quickly at the end.
