Did not finish book. Stopped at 46%.

Maybe I would have had an easier time if I read a physical copy instead of listening via audiobook, but this was way too rambling and confusing. I listened to part one TWICE - and was considering going back and reading again - before just deciding to call it. A book being short does not mean I have to sit through two more hours of dull bewilderment.

Brutal and disturbing, and delightfully fast-paced. I found Sarah to be ruthless and clever, and her reactions to everything that happened to her wholly human. A teenager forced to adapt to horrible situations, but in heartbreaking moments, still just a kid.

Expected warnings for antisemitism, violence, and fascism, but HUGE tw for child abuse and attempted (but unsuccessful) and referenced CSA.
