I saw a book review of Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys @haileyinbookland YouTube channel. And she mentioned it was very much like Between Shades of Gray by the same author, which I haven't read . She described Salt to the Sea as , "unflinchingly honest and you read these terrible, terrible things that have happened and opens your eyes to the situations at the time ; teenagers, people our age etc . Try to make sense of the world which makes no sense." And Ruta Sepetys is really unflinchingly honest and speaks wonders , I haven't read a good historical fiction other that The Book Thief in awhile. #snow #historicalfiction #30daysofbookish #reading #cozy #deccupofbookishlife #penguinteen #bibliophile #rfabdecember16 #penguin #decbookstagram #throwblanket #jinglemybooks
