Book Review - Between Shades of Gray

Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was beautifully written and utterly heartbreaking. You will not walk away from this book feeling happy. However, I promise you will feel so much more appreciative of every single aspect of your life.

It is a work of fiction, but it was also a reality for hundreds of thousands of people. And it is horrifying.

I read this one in a couple of days. I just didn't want to put it down. Not only was I desperate to know what was going to become of the main character, but I wanted to know what was going to become of every single person I was introduced to.

It is short and it is a fast read. But every single word of it is worth reading. The images and the stories of each person and family are going to haunt me for years to come.

This is the kind of book everyone should read.

Be warned though. I cried. A lot.
