woohoooo i’m done
rated a solid-ish 3 stars. again, great premise but it lacked a certain something. i feel for me to fall in love with a historical fiction book it has to bring new perspectives to an event that changes the way i view it, and this book feels a bit of the same-old ww2 fighting against germany story.
that being said, it was still a nice light read and i liked it overall :)

halfway done wooooo
thoughts: not bad, interesting concept of forging paintings to resist the germans. not really a top tier book for me, tbh it’s kinda cliche (especially what i just read: “they can destroy our country but we can fight back in out own small way ‼️‼️ like i’m rolling my eyes over here lol)
i guess it’s hard to compare to all the light we cannot see, that book left me a wreck hahaha

part one finished - intriguing, i think it’ll grow on me. some of the dialogue and inner monologue is a bit clunky but it has a good premise :)
