Amazing and unique storytelling. First part is written by the main character who is detained with the Gestapo and is writing down 'her story' to buy her time by providing insight/background into why she's there. Second part is written in the p.o.v of her best friend. I loved the characters and their friendship; they felt believable and real. There were parts that left gaps and left you guessing as a reader or wondering why that would have been mentioned. Plenty of une pected twists and turns. My only criticism is that sometimes I got a bit too lost and confused/not sure what to believe. Highly recommend!
