This is the fascinating story of The Alice Network, a network of spies in WWI

The story goes back and forth in time, connecting Eve and Charlotte to The Alice Network. I really really enjoyed the flashback parts, they were really fascinating and exciting. I wasn't such a fan of the present time as much, simply because Charlotte wasn't the most compelling heroine, nor was her love story. I also found the story a little slow. However, it was also very gripping and exciting, and I enjoyed it a lot

PG-13+ for violence and gore

I LOOOOOOVED this book so much that I did not put it down and finished it in a day. It was well written, engaging & downright beautiful. The characters were dynamic, the plot was adventurous and it made me CRYYYY. Loved it so much.

This is the first fictional book I've read about world war 1 and 2 from the perspective of women, which is super interesting. The story is quite heavy, but also has enough funny parts. Some parts of the plot are a bit cliché, but I loved the development of the relationship between Charlie and Eve (the 2 main female characters). I listened to this book in audiobook-form and loved the narration!
