I had to DNF this one after the first 4 chapters! It tried so hard to be cutesy that it read like something a middle schooler would like except it threw in plenty of F bombs and GDs to make it sound “mature�.

It wasn’t that it was bad, just mediocre compared to so many thrilling WW2 books available now. I felt like Lili’s entire character was mostly an extension of Evie’s life. She mostly just reacted to whatever was going on in Evie’s world. Just wasn’t for me. ...more

The set up was great and I was looking so forward to a good ghost story vibe.
