If I Should Die Before I Wake by Melissa Somoza

I expected this book to be good, but not that good! I loved how this book made me cry because it seemed so realistic! My favorite part was at the end when Nadzia got to meet Hilary. I loved how the author described the shifting of time and how Hilary came to realize how stupid she really was for hating the Jews. This book exceeded my expectations, being full of more than I ever expected. He knew what a Jew had to go through and how horrible their lives were. I give it five stars it was one of the best books I have ever read! He also used details to his advantage you could tell that he researched a lot about World War II. He used emotions rather well to explain what it felt like to be in the two girls’ positions. I thought this book was absolutely amazing! I loved how Han Nolan really made you feel like you were in a concentration camp, suffering.

Will they survive the impossible tasks given to them? While she fights for her life in her world, she must also fight for Chana’s life in hers. This girl Chana really did live and Hilary is being sent back in time to live a life of a Jew and her paradigm is completely shifted. As she fades in and out of her world, she realizes that it’s not just a dream. Put into a coma, she starts to live the life of a Jewish girl named Chana during World War II.
