lakecake 's review for:
I won a copy of this book from Goodreads Giveaways.
I feel like there was too much happening here for the length this book ended up being. Since it’s relatively slim, there are a lot of characters packed into a small amount of pages to start, and then when the “meat” of the book actually begins—the recounting of the war—our main character Chanel is not even in the Riviera so the main premise of the book is a little bit of a let down. The account of the war in Paris and the Côte d’Azur is really fascinating (in the macabre way that WWII accounts are) but ultimately this book is a just ok read.
