It was a page turner for me, however the changing between timelines (1940s and 1980s) and characters left me a bit muddled at times.
It has definitely inspired me to visit the American Library the next time I’m in Paris!

The Heavens by Sandra Newman
Did not finish book.
Did not finish book.
I was a little under half way through the book when I decided not to finish it. If my memory is correct, it is only the second book I have ever not pushed myself to finish reading. The book is slow-paced in my opinion. The characters are not engaging. The 'time travel' back and forth is inconsistent and explained poorly.
