oh. my. god.
i have never used so many tabs in a book…ever.

this story follows Liesel, a young girl who’s life has been overshadowed by death and grief. she is taken in by the Hubermann’s; Hans & Rosa. together, they deal with the struggles of WWII as a family who do not agree with the fascist ideals of Nazi Germany and its treatment of Jewish people, and the consequences that they face for being outspoken.

Hans Hubermann is now the most important fictional man that i have ever encountered (in equal standing with remus lupin of course). while both foster parents are loving, Hans adopts a genuinely nurturing and caring parenting style. i absolutely adore that man.

also having Death as a narrator was a game-changer and i found that point of view to be so interesting.

i am obsessed with this book.
