A review by oceanwriter
The Girl Who Escaped from Auschwitz by Ellie Midwood

sad medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

1.5

I could barely get through this book, unfortunately. Despite being based on a true story, both the story and the writing felt romanticized. I’ve struggled in the past with similarly toned books and have regretted my attempts to overlook the uneasiness I’ve felt about them due to a high rating average. This kind of World War II fiction just isn’t for me.
