Meh. This is a novel about a girl who becomes a taster for Hitler through the last 2 years of WWII. I liked the idea of seeing the war from the German side, but the execution was awkward and weird.
None of the characters were fully formed and there was no growth through the course of the novel. I’m addition, I feel like the author had a list of events and places related to WWII and was determined to fit all of them in regardless of how unlikely or nonsensical it was.
And oh my god, the sex scenes were downright cringy. Trust and believe a woman is not thinking about her hymen during sex.
