My friend FloJo told me to read this book and I always do what she tells me to. She said it was a sweet story. I can only imagine that sweet means sadistic in her world. I did like the book. I liked the dual storyline. I liked the historical aspect. I knew where it was headed as soon as Sarah kept her brother safe on that fateful night. I would have liked to have seen more of Sarah's story, though. And I felt like the main character/protagonist was kind of weak. Eventually, she toughened up, but I wish she could have been tougher from the get-go.
