Holy shit... these last hundred and something pages have been a hell of a ride. I thought I'd cried all the tears I was going to (and they weren't many) but god damn it, if you know what happens around this point in the book, that shit felt so unfair.

Dude… plot wise Isabelle’s chapters are fun but damn Vianne’s consistently hit me like a ton of bricks.

Ok no she's pissing me off now. You can be an impulsive person and not be a complete idiot. Why would someone who knows the French police are cooperating with the nazis (under duress or otherwise), who just said to herself "I can't risk them writing down my name", just go up to the French police and demand to know what's happening? Like yes, it's an atrocity but what the hell are you going to be able to do about it?

I know they can’t just expose Eduardo but really? Isabelle can’t even acknowledge he did like half the work in her head? Tf in the Katniss Everdeen is this?

Ok at the very least I see Isabelle’s perspective. Her dad abandoned her, of course that means he’d be the first to serve as a nazi lapdog and “abandon” France too. I just wish she sounded more convincing as a rebel. She still talks like someone from twitter who does a lot of posturing with no action. Which is bizarre because she is doing shit.

I do like at this point Vianne is basically telling her daughter “I wasn’t gonna let your aunt get you in danger being stupid so I sure as shit ain’t letting you get yourself in danger being stupid.”

Ok, I've finally worked out how to put it into words. Isabelle is giving the same energy towards the nazis as the outcast girl gives to the queen bee in high school comedies. "I don't CARE what they think" well you should Isabelle because they can and will kill you and your family you bloody dunce.

I’m so glad I’ve read past this point before and know Isabelle gets better because god, she is such a selfish prick earlier on. Its like she’s constantly waving her hands at the nazis saying “DID YOU SEE? I’M REBELLING!!!” Like bitch… you don’t have to follow all the rules but why be so damn stupid about it?

Sigh… oh Isabelle.

I forgot how cool and dangerous Gaet thinks he is when he first shows up. Mate I’ve had toe nails tougher than you.
