I would like to say a huge thank you to the publisher Penguin General Uk, the author and Netgalley for letting me have the opportunity to be able to review this book and to give my honest opinion of this book.
As much as I love historical fiction books, I really struggled with this book which was a huge shame. I struggled with the amount of characters that were present throughout- there were far too many for me in my opinion to be able to keep up. I am aware that this would be based on true events but I did feel there were too many characters for this whole story.
There were times where I did feel sorry for the characters and could really relate to them as they felt real. There were times that I could really relate to the main character. The tension and the way she was scared she was going to be found out- you could really feel it throughout the chapters. However, I did sometimes get confused as I would lose track of the story. The story jumped a lot from the first to third person and has a lot of jumps in time. I do believe that the story could have been set out a lot better to be able to follow as it was all the same events but different point of views.
As the book went on, it did become quite tedious and boring. Towards the end of the novel, I skipped the last chapter and the prologue as I did not really think that it would provide me with any more information. This book was not for me which is a shame as I was really looking forward to this novel.
