Some things are impossible to move on from – instead, you have to find a way to live with them. The secret is to open your heart, even as it breaks
In 2010, Zoe and her family moved to Casablanca due to her husband, Tom, who is starting his new job and also in hope, looking for a fresh start. They moved in to a beautiful house but started to notice a floor creaked in her baby daughter's room. In hoped to repair the floor, she accidentally found a wooden box filled with diary and other stuffs. The diary is belong to 12 year-old Josie Duval, who started to wrote her diary in 1941 while waiting for a passage to America with her Jewish family.
To be honest, it gets pretty interesting after 2nd halves and I could not put the book down, anticipating the next journal by Josie. There were plot twists after plot twists and it made my heart break as well. I do recommend this book to anyone who are a fan of dual timeline and historical fiction.

Overall I liked this book. I appreciated the short chapters as I felt I could get through it faster. I didn’t love the tone of Josie’s chapters because I felt like she was 20 or something not 12 but her chapters were very detailed and interesting which I liked. The twist at the end was a little out there but again overall I liked it.

Enjoyed this read. Loved Josies time line. Frustratingly guessed the "twist" very early on but did not effect the storytelling.
