These chapters are alternated with the story of Lily who lives next door to Odile in Montana in the mid to late 1980's. As Lily is going through her teen years, she faces some difficult circumstances. Each time, Odile has some wise words from her past experiences to help her grow through these. They both learn how the choices we make and our relationships with others shape us into the people we become.
Moderate: Violence, War, and Hate crime

With the title and setting, I was excited for a new look on Paris during WWII, and instead got more of the same tropes.
My thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!
