This is another of those books that wasn’t really for me. There are two stories in this one—present day and 1940s, but we already know from the start that the 1940s story ends tragically, and for me, it felt like watching a tragedy in slow motion. While well-written, both stories had elements of insta-love. While I did enjoy the twist at the end, this one overall was just too bittersweet for me. But if you like historical fiction with a bittersweet ending this could be for you!

⭐⭐⭐½

Okay, I’ll admit, I’ve had a hard time finding my cup of tea lately, but it’s not one with a bittersweet flavor for sure.

Thanks for reading!
