Adorable quick read. A bit steamy at times, but all and all enjoyable.

I listened to the audiobook

At the beginning, I thought I wasn't going to like it, but the more I listened, the more it grew on me.  I know there is debate about this, but at the beginning, I really thought that Eleanor was autistic.  By the end though, I don't know.

All in all, well written, and engaging

Didn't hate it but Hertas storyline confused me a bit. This felt like a run of the mill WWII story, no better or worse than the hundreds of others these past few years

I just couldn't stand this book.  I felt that the twist was obvious, and the characters weren't relatable.  At the end of the day, I was mainly bored.

Did not finish book.
I couldn't relate to the characters.  Doesn't help that it's a translation
