Review:
Heather has done it again, I am left speechless after this book.
What a wonderful story of a brave young women throughout the most tragic of circumstances.
I absolutely loved Cilka and her story. I was incredibly invested in this and think that listening on audio really aided my experience here.
I can only hope the third by Heather is just as good. A huge five stars from me (just like her first book!)
