challenging dark emotional hopeful sad fast-paced

this was amazing! I definitely wouldn't have picked this up on my own (my grandma got me this for Christmas) but I'm so glad I read it. this is an amazing story about the horrors of WWII and the life of citizens in nazi-occupied paris. I think this did a really good job of capturing the quiet terror of this time, how people turned on each other and how so many people were doing small things to save lives. I didn't really like the pacing of the story and there were a few lucky coincidences but other than that I highly recommend this book!
