This was a sweet and fun historical fiction set in WWII Britain. While the plot is simple, the character growth is beautiful. Overall, I found it to be a easy and enjoyable read. One friend described it as a grown up American Girl story.

4.5

I appreciate the balance between romantic relationships and friendships. Some of the plot is predictable, but in a way that felt earned and not forced. There were times that I thought I knew where the story was going and was pleasantly surprised when it did not.
