Last Twilight in Paris by Pam Jenoff

 💖💖💖💖💖/5


Last Twilight in Paris by Pam Jenoff is another amazing WWII historical fiction about a necklace, a French department store and two women’s stories; told using a dual timeline, Louise an English lady, and Helaine Weil, held during the war in Lévitan, a French department store that housed arrested Jews during the war. It is about how people faced circumstances they didn’t expect, how they found the strength they didn’t know they had to keep going and survive, and the mysterious link a necklace has to all of this and its meaning. It was so heartbreaking all the pain the war caused so many people, but through the struggle we are reminded that even wounded people still can find ways to appreciate the joy in life. All the pieces of the story blend seamlessly and there is much beauty left after all the destruction.

 💖💖💖💖💖/5 Chase Lovett Wants Me by Helena Hunting is a college hockey romance between a super outgoing hockey star and an introverted girl who writes sizzling hot LoTR fanfic in her spare time.   Cammie Lovelock has a crush on Chase Lovett but has always felt invisible to the popular crowd. A fire in their dorm sends all the students to a nearby hotel until damages are repaired and she ends up rooming with her hockey crush Chase; thanks to having the gender neutral first name of Cameron. To make matters worse, there is only one bed. It might have accidently started with these two opposites rooming together, but it led to a wonderful, sizzling hot relationship; one where they are there for each other.   I loved the sibling and friend connections this book had to the Toronto Terror series. Getting glimpses of some of our favorite Terror characters was perfect. I can’t wait to see where this series goes ; especially to read Tally and Brody’s stories.   REA...
