I wanted to like this book so badly. I can get behind flowery language, I did like several of the letters, but everything in between made no sense. This was a no plot just vibes book but in a negative sense. There was no context to make me feel for the characters, understand the war, understand why the they in particular were in it. It just didn't hit for me, sad to say.

I wanted to like this SOOOO bad it just didn't do it for me I'm sorry

She did an excellent job don't get me wrong, but it's so so hard for me to give memoirs high stars when the person is so young. There didn't feel like there was level of healing and introspection necessary for a fully mature memoir here, it felt unfinished. I could never think to write a memoir right now in my life even though I've done so much because there's still so much to learn and there's so much growing to do. I think this would've been better in 15-20 years.

Good, enjoyable, not overly memorable to me

Sorry but as a fellow autistic person, rose was annoying.
Did not know this was “ya” but it makes sense now. I wanted so much more of the camp, and it just wasn't there (nor ~camp~ like bury your gays)
Just didn't hit for me, sorry
