It was a cute book and I’m glad I listened to it. I had no idea about the Pied Piper movement in England as part of World War II and it’s both delightful how community came together and heartbreaking when the placements didn’t work out well or families were never reunited. There’s so much to address in this book by beginning with how sweetly Harry stepped up for Flora and Hazel right along w his mom then how their mom was welcomed to give them a great support system. I love how stories are powerful in this novel
Without giving anything away, I thought the twist in the book seemed a little unlikely and seemed a little too convenient so that’s why it’s not a five stars

I enjoyed the journey of the story. The way everything weaves together is fun. The writing was lovely. I just found part of it to be too unbelieveable.
Just couldn’t get into it and couldn’t connect with the characters
3.5 stars. The main character wasn't super likeable, in my opinion. And the resolution seemed very deus ex machina. But I loved learning about life in 1960's London, and the Secret Book elements were neat.

A million stars. One of my favorite reads of all time. Heartbreaking and Heartwarming all at once.
Overall it was mostly what I expected. The addition of a little mystery saved it for me.
