Your chapter structure could not have been chosen better for writing this kind of story. I believe that the story's first person narrative, from multiple perspectives, was a sound idea, and it kept me wanting more.

This story was an emotional rollercoaster, where plot twists and ever developing characters were in abundance.

Chapter Four has me yearning to discover what has become of these loveable characters, especially Ester, and Klara. With the use of such an effective plot twist at the very end of this chapter, I am eager to read on.
