A solid three and a half stars. Good book, and a really big leap for me into a new genre. I enjoyed the story, but found it hard to follow at times. I appreciate the author’s attention to historical detail. Also, I SO appreciated the author adding a bit to the end to really tie the whole story up nicely. 

I will note that it was far more challenging to read than I expected. War is dark and the effect is has is seen clearly on every page of this book.

I absolutely loved this book. The trio of Charlie, Eve and Finn; all of their flaws and developments were just captivating. 
I loved the duo perspectives of both Eve and Charlie, it added a depth to the book and I loved to see their contrasts and similarities. It loses 0.25 of a rating purely because I feel like Charlie's perspective has nothing on Eve's, but it was nonetheless relevant to Eve's present story. 
There were spicy moments, and swearing, which I found didn't take away from the plot or characters and I feel that reviews that claim they do, don't give Quinn enough credit for how they were used to show the development of character or who the characters were. 
I'm thoroughly looking forward to reading more of Quinn's works because of this book!

I was surprised by how much I liked this book even from changing from Charlie's and Eve's perspectives. The book takes on an adventure through England and France and teleports you back into time during WWI and after WWII With Charlie being somewhat naive view on life, she ends up growing more mature and independent and with Eve being a stubborn drunk who trying to resolve her demons from the past. It is a story that will excite you but also make you think about what is wrong and right.

TLDR: Go on an epic adventure through England and France with a motley crew from the perspective of Charlie and Eve. Teleporting you back to WWI and present day (1947) you'll be eagerly turning each page to see what happens next.

I was not expecting to so throughly enjoy this book! Badass women spies, badass women defying social convention. The dual timelines wove together beautifully, there was just enough truth in the fiction to keep me interested, and I appreciated that most of the characters were “fallen” people by society’s standards. Absolutely would read another book by Kate Quinn or on this subject.

Beginning was a bit slow for me but once it really begins to pick up, it does not stop. 
Both narratives blend together seamlessly in the final arc; everything comes full circle.
One of my favorite epilogues ever written; really pulled on the heart-strings.
