Oh well I’m giving it a low score, our group average was marginally better at 3/10 me a lowly 2/10. A poorly written romance/chicklit about a female resistance fighter in WW2. There are so many better books to read. The Nightingale, which was named Goodreads Best Historical fiction novel for 2015 – WHY?

Score 2/10

Date read April 2017

“If you didn’t read The End of Mr Y then you should!
This doesn’t connect at all and stands alone as a novel.
As a writer she has an easy style which makes the pages flow and keeps you wanting to read on.
We read this as a book club novel and had lots to discuss and debate.
BC scored 5.6/10 I liked it more than most and gave it a 7/10

Score 7/10
