The Alice Network by Kate Quinn
5.0
I really enjoyed this book. I chose to read it now because there was a Bookish Bingo square for a book with a spy as a the character, and there’s actually not that many of those- at least not ones that were already on my radar/of interest to me.
This felt like one of those books that everyone could like. One that my grandmother would read in her book club and then pass on to my aunt who would then pass it on to me etc.
I am going to copy my commentary below….
- 2% if you have that little money, obviously you shouldn’t have left the waitress a whole pound you idiot
- 24% Charlie’s sudden seduction of Finn seems super strange. It feels like it came out of nowhere. Yes, she’s pregnant out of wedlock, but she’s never given off promiscuous vibes before. This seems really out of character. And the language she is using just seems so wrong. Also, I don’t know why but I was imagining Finn as an older man. Not college aged.
- 59% oh god… Rose… and her child…
- 72% tell him that she offered you money to borrow your safe passage card!! Stupid girl
- Oh dear god why did you make a run for it! Why did you curse in English!!!! Oh little Daisy !!! AND NOW YOU CONFESS OMG OMG OMG AGHHHHHH 😱
- At the very least you should have threatened him that if he didn’t let you walk away, you would tell the Germans all the information he revealed to you, willingly. That he was a willing accomplish.
- 77% I don’t believe that she actually gave up her secrets. He learned the information elsewhere and is using it to torture her.
- 87% did cars back in the day really have this many problems? Dear god
- 89% eeeekkkk he’s there?! They are meeting in public!!? I am so nervous. And they don’t have Finn.
- 91% he is insulting her for being a sobbing piss stained thing after he had broken every finger joint in both her hands one by one and drugged her?!? She survived a fucking German war camp. What did he do? Work against his country to make a profit? Get an entire town of innocent civilians massacred? And yet someone he still walks free. Eating at fancy restaurants. Wearing fancy suits. I WANT TO SHOOT HIM MYSELF. GIVE ME THE GUN.
- He has that entire town massacred because it PLEASED HIM?! I swear to god. I don’t know how these people are not shoving a steak knife into his heart right now.
- KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM
- 92% walking up to his door and putting 7 shots into his skull sounds like an excellent plan for me. Eve doesn’t care if she goes to jail. She would be happy with her life if she kills this man and goes to jail. Let her. He deserves to die at her hands. Actually, no, don’t put 7 bullets in his skull right away. Torture him a bit first. Break his fingers. And his toes. And then every other bone in his body.
- 93% please don’t be dead please don’t be dead. Please please please. If she killed herself, I will be devastated. She snuck out! Of course she snuck out. Why would I think she would kill herself.
- Although she would kill herself after she killed him…
- Omg Cameron 😭
- 94% don’t follow the music, it is a trap you idiot!
- 95% if Charlie lives and Eve does not, and the baby is a girl… it will be Rose Evelyn
