This is a story about Hetty, who joins the resistance when the Nazis enter the Netherlands. The book is based on a true story which makes it really impressive. The book is fast paced; I couldn't put it away and wanted to keep reading to find out how Hetty would do as she worked in the resistance.
The story is compelling and I 'enjoyed' reading it a lot. Sometime the sentence structure was off and the timeline was a little jumpy every now and then which made it hard to follow every now and then.
