danadoesbooks 's review for:

When the Summer Was Ours by Roxanne Veletzos
emotional fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot

Thank you to Atria and NetGalley for the gifted ebook of When The Summer Was Ours!  All opinions in this review are my own.

I feel like it is a bit misleading to call this a historical fiction novel.  It is more like a romance novel set in Hungary during WWII and beyond.  However, despite this categorical difference, I did really like the story of Eva and Aleandro.  I loved the star-crossed lovers romance and  the significant time jumps that help tell the full story of the romance.  While I wish the novel included more historical details and descriptions, I haven't read a WWII novel set in Hungary so it was interesting to read about.
