We Were the Lucky Ones

I picked this book up when I found out there would be a TV adaptation and once I got to the end and discovered that it was based on a true story, I found myself wishing the author had just written a nonfiction account of her family's experience. Though I was certainly invested in the wellbeing of each character, the writing isn't particularly gripping and the book is longer than it needs to be.

This is a semi-worthwhile read if you like other Holocaust survivor books but my guess is that the TV series will be the exception to the rule and improve upon the source material.
