Thanks to Netgalley for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!
Alright, buckle up for "The Safekeep" by Yael van der Wouden – it's a wild but quiet ride through obsession, romance, post-World War 2 chaos, and the darker parts of our collective pasts.
First off, if you've seen "Portrait of a Lady on Fire," get ready because this book feels like its long-lost literary cousin. Except for "The Safekeep" deciding to take a different, more unpredictable route.
I really like that it's not all sunshine and rainbows – I'm not one for romanced novels - this book dives into the aftermath of World War 2; into complex topics, hitting you with reality checks instead of feel-good moments.
Personally, the plot fell a bit slow in the middle, but when it builds up to the third act, you'll be hooked. It kind of read like a psychological thriller for a second.
I'm eagerly waiting to see what this author comes up with next!
