The Alice Network by Kate Quinn

Did not finish book. Stopped at 19%.
War-time settings are not normally my favorite. I thought the spy, mystery, and female aspect of this one could push me through, but I just didn’t care to pick it up every time I stopped listening. Doesn’t help that I’m moving and looking to get rid of books along the way.

Fantastic. Best classic I’ve ever read. It felt incredibly accessible while still of the complex and reflective nature of a true classic.

2.0

I absolutely know how helpful this book may be to some people, it’s just not really my thing as an empath. Instead of hearing others’ stories and feeling better about my situation, it mostly just makes me sad. What I will say is that hearing multiple people express their gratitude to someone who sat them down and told them they needed help was very moving for me, so I’m very thankful for that part of the book.
