So eyecatching, interesting and thought provoking, literally could not place this book down. Currently she has written the only book that I have read from cover to cover in one sitting, while in Normandy France as well!

Such a sad read, knowing her fate while reading her words about being optimistic about the future. Although it makes me very appreciative of my life even though it may be hard it’s nothing compared to having to be in hiding and fear for my life just because of my beliefs.

there’s something so eye opening and special but of course also incredibly sad about reading the point of view of a 13 through to 15 year old Jewish girl in hiding during WW2. i admire Otto for making the decision to publish it on behalf of her after her passing in February 1945, especially as Anne talks frequently in her diary about wanting to be a published author some day and wanting to live on past her death - which in a way, she is through her writing 💕

i didn’t give the book 5 stars only because personally i seemed to lose concentration after a while as it is a non fiction historical memoir which i am not used to reading as much.

I wish I had read this book as a teenager. As an adult, I still consider it an essential read, but this is the diary of a teenage girl, with all the moodiness, conflict, and curiosity that entails. Had I read it as a teenager, I feel like it would have resonated with me in a different way.
