The Secret Notebook by Julia Wild is an enjoyable dual timeline historical fiction and romance novel that kept me interested throughout.

This was a nice, relaxing read that weaves the tale of two women generations apart (current day and WWII era) and we find that despite time and societal differences, both characters have much more in common with their trials then not.

The interweaving of current-day Izzie and her grandmother, Molly, into one narrative solidified the fundamental concepts of family, love, loss, hope, and purpose. A few twists thrown in added to the story. I also feel that the ending was positive and ended in a satisfying way.

4/5 stars
