i’ve only ever given two books one star: a gathering of days and this book—
this was boring and i do not care about the whole “war + hero + patriotism + bravery + honor” narrative, come at me if you want but it made it not enjoyable. this was confusing and a waste of my time ...more

╰┈➤ ”she lived among us for a while and brought joy where she went. we thought she was a gift of God but learned she was but lent.”
so, as you can see, i gave this book one star. now, i read this book over 3 years ago, so i gave it one star based off of how i remember feeling about it at the time. this review may not be the most accurate, but i’ll inform you on what i remember. take this with a grain of salt.
from what i recall, this book was boring. it had no clear plot line and the spacing was very scattered and random. there would be major plot points that would never be completed and were instead replaced by scenes of our mc sewing her quilt, doing her chores, etc. it had no clear storyline and for that it was extremely confusing.
i can’t even remember any of the characters names. all i can say is, i read this for school, and all of my classmates despised it as well and couldn’t fathom how it one awards. so there, strength in numbers.
anyway, this is a “diary” so maybe that’s why the story was scattered. i just think they should have picked some plot lines and stuck with them instead of abandoning ones and leaving them unfinished.
i do not recommend unless you would like to be bored out of your mind. and this coming from me, the historical fiction enthusiast.
