I would like to thank both NetGalley and William Morrow Paperbacks for allowing me to read and review this book. Sorry it took me so long to get it reviewed. All opinions are my own.

Book Review:

I am sad to say that I didn’t love this book. I came close a couple of times of DNFing it. I did end up giving it 3 stars. I loved Lucy’s chapters and the struggles she had trying to find out the information she wanted on Nancy and her friend. I didn’t love or even liked Nancy’s chapters. I felt like Nancy didn’t know what she wanted and once she got something it wasn’t what she wanted. She sounded more like a child or teen instead of an adult. The Nancy chapters were also very long and seemed to drag on and Lucy’s chapter were to the point and short. I do enjoy a WWII story and there was the twist of two of the sisters who were on the Germans side even the mother was leaning that way.
