Mistress of the Ritz by Melanie Benjamin

3.0

I really wanted to love this story. I enjoy books written about or set during World War II. Overall, the story was good, but I felt the main characters were lacking. They seemed superficial and while they were assisting the Resistance in Paris, it was hard to feel their passion for it. At the end of book, I read the author's notes. She stated she could find very little in Blanche and Claude while doing research and created the story from basic facts. It made sense why the characters felt lacking.
