Just amazing. It had all the feels, and is a book that will stick with me. Hannah has become one of my favorite authors. She is so amazing at depicting history accurately and making you just FEEL all the emotions. I'm so glad my friend recommended her to me.

Simplistic writing, flat, one-note characters, predictable plot points, set in France about the French people but glaringly American perspectives and writing, anachronistic/unresearched for HF, but not enough romance to be romance, so just not enough of anything. 2 stars because the audiobook was an ok in-ear backdrop to traveling, walking around etc. I’d put it in the jack reacher, girl with the hornets nest, da Vinci code category of books that read like movies. Not really enough there to call it good, but entertaining enough if you don’t think about it too hard, and not so bad that it’s offensive.

I love this author but this is not my favorite of her books. While the subject was serious and should have been moving, I was not moved by this book and didn’t feel connected to each other. The family issues and plot felt predictable and almost silly. However, it was still enjoyable to read and I was highly invested in it while reading mainly because the way she writes is so beautiful.
