I picked the tagged for H because not many know of it. It's a memoir that reads like a novel, about growing up in an oppressive religious environment and with an abusive steparent. I only read it on a lark because I am distantly related to everyone with her surname, and was curious. It's a very powerful read, and for a while the author had a nonprofit that helped teens find their voice through writing. #Alphabetgame #LetterH

Definitely an interesting (if short) book. Not quite what I expected, I got snippets here and there of it seen from the people who were involved in the war via quotes.
But I misunderstood the title.
I expected the war to be told from their perspective, what I actually got was a description of the event blow by blow with tiny little bits from those involved.
Still a decent read though.
This evening I read this in one sitting which I‘ve never done before. This is such a moving story that even brought a tear to my eye. I have so many theories floating through my head as to why she decided to live the way she did. Definitely recommend as a quick read. Finished it in 1 hour 20 minutes.
I gave this book 4 stars ✨

I'm not sure my son will like the whole series. He doesn't mind true stories where people die, but gets uncomfortable when people are harmed in fiction. So complicated.
I almost thought he had given up on I Survived, but we finally finished this tonight. He surprised me by asking for another I Survived book.
