Reviews

[Tori · Rating 2 out of 5]

Another war start about something I didn’t know about: French women who fell in love with German soldiers.
Other reviewers said they really felt the live Adele had with her partners but I didn’t. It felt like she needed something and she used the men to get it. She wasn’t manipulative though. She just was a victim of circumstances.
It just didn’t ever make me like the characters.
