I may not finish this but the protagonist seems like he has control issues so essentially is a caricature which lends the story the drama it needs. There's a reason why these books sell well...social media cannot outmatch our imaginations when reading stories.

Susan Cain should win an award for bravery. For proving introversion is the trait educators and parents have widely misunderstood and mislabeled as shy. Shy signifies timidity which although could be coupled with introversion... doesn't take into account temperament, physical size, or relative strength to peers, and certainly doesn't acknowledge abilities / disabilities introverts may have: hidden "super powers."

Judging by the number of reworks and summaries of this title, there are a lot of introverted readers... listening on audio.... Shhh! 😊

I’m listening to this based-on-true-events (historical fiction) tale courtesy of BARD from The Braille Institute. Heart wrenching from the very beginning since it’s about the Holocaust, something my family and I were lucky not to experience, (death on a massive scale during WWII Poland & France, …no spoilers here. It’s very well written and I’m only on the 2nd chapter. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
