This wasn't an easy story to read. I knew the ending far ahead of looking at the book. Still, I admire Sophie and her friends and I wanted to read her story and remember.
Poetry is an interesting choice as a medium for Sophie's story. Sometimes the back and forth with the present and "the end" made things a bit difficult to understand, as well as the back and forth between Sophie and her pursuer. I think this could have benefited from just a bit more.
I felt deeply for Sophie's parents at the end and for Fritz. I wish I knew more about Fritz's feelings about fighting for Germany and what kind of conflict that created for him internally.
Wilson's use of lengthy German words make this book too difficult for the majority of my junior high students, and that's a shame. I understand the choice in using them, but English would be preferable in the YA market, I believe.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an e-ARC of this book before its publication in exchange for an honest review.
