As a self-professed history nerd, historical fiction is right up my alley, and this book absolutely delivered. There’s nothing quite like being transported to another time and place, and the rich descriptions really made that era come alive.

I’m always here for a strong female lead, and this book’s protag definitely delivered on that front. Plus I have to admit...I love getting a peek into high society and the luxurious lives that (let’s be honest) most of us will only ever experience through books. And hey if we can’t live it at least we can read it and say, ‘this is fine!’ while sipping our coffee and dreaming of Paris 🫠

This was a fascinating concept for Paris in 1938, it uses the historical element perfectly and was hooked from the first page. It had that historical element that I was looking for and enjoyed the overall use of the time-period. The characters had that realism that I was looking for and enjoyed going through this storyline with them. Sarah Sigal has a strong writing style and hope to read more as the Paris Spy was so well written.

some buzzwords for this book:
- Strong female characters
- Disney references
- a stunning cover that will make everyone wonder what you're reading
- action sequences that are breathtaking
- beautiful writing
- if that sounds up your alley, check out The Paris Spy!
