I would probably rate this a 2.5. I thought it was interesting to learn about the WWII internment camps, which I didn't know much about, but subject matter is not enough to make a book good. I never really felt connected with the characters and the big friendship between Elise and Meriko was only a very small part of the book. Their time together was glossed through pretty quickly.
