The greatest book!!!!!!!!!!

This IS the absolute best book ever you have to read it!!!

This book is a 5 star rating because it is the BEST!

this book is suitable to readers 12-16 as it is so down to earth and you can really feel Norahs feeling towards her cousin! I love the way her Aunts nag her and tell her about the pains fo growing up. I reacomend this to 12-16 year olds because i feel you need to be near her age

Awesome

There she learns many things about herself and about the war. She also falls in love for the first time, and finds out how hard it is to be in love. This is a WONDERFUL book.
