He sticks with her wanting to be a writer, but her personality is so unsympathetic and dreadful- and her actions are as well- that it’s hard to reconcile. Maybe she would have been that way if she survived. Who knows what that horror would do to you? I just didn’t want or need to see her that way.

Anne wanted to be a writer & a star … so I still think she would have pursued that. She was special. Does the author portray her so poorly?

I considered this one, but just wasn’t sure, so never requested it. Based on your thoughts, I think I made the right call. I don’t think I’d want to see Anne Frank, a beloved heroine to so many, portrayed in such a bitter light. Thanks for vetting!
