I think part of the draw of Anne Frank’s diary is how abruptly it ended, but that in a way is the irony in that sadly that is also how her life ended at the camp. I was quite interested to read this book when I heard about it, as we knew everything leading up to them being taken and sent to camp but that’s where the reader is left wondering how does it all end and in the words of Anne Frank herself.

I think Johnny did a great job re-creating what potentially would have been her lost diary had she had the ability to continue to write about her days and time in the camp. History has given us some pieces of the puzzle about potentially how long she and her family were in the camp and sadly, what was more than likely her last day of life- but there still is that unknown. Keeping in the tune of how Anne wrote in her diary, Johnny continued in that dialogue in this novel as well and it did not read like a history book but that you were peaking into someones most inner thoughts and feelings.

I want to thank The Book Review Crew and the author for the invite to the tour and free ebook. I don’t know if I would have found this one otherwise. It gave a little more satisfaction in knowing what her last days could have very well been like.

I can remember reading The Diary of Anne Frank when I was younger. Even many, many years later, I can still remember that book. Thus I was very curious to read this book on "what might have been" with Anne Frank.

I thought that Dr. Teague did a good job of writing this book. I could see Anne writing these entries as she spent her time in concentration camp. Although, I will agree with another reader that in the beginning, it really did not feel like Anne's voice. It felt like a "ghost writer" writing for her. Yet, the further I got into the book, it did feel more like Anne writing.

What I was missing was the sorrow that I got from The Diary of Anne Frank. It felt like the "dark" and "real" moments were glossed over to keep the vibe of this book kind of upbeat. Which, Anne's story is not that. Despite my feelings about this book, I did still like it.
