I READ SAVING FRANCESCA.








Also the Demon's Lexicon series and Team Human (which was surprisingly emotional at the climax and had some interesting characterization bits amid an otherwise shallow-but-entertaining read) and The Last Unicorn (which was beautiful and which I need to read in one sitting). I had to return all the others but I'll get them back, and I have Unspoken and The Marriage Plot and Code Verity

but

Saving Francesca

not only reminded me of how wonderfully lucky I have been in love

but also

just

so perfect.

flawless.

wonderful.

tightly plotted and everything is doled out at just the right moment and also it's hilarious and I care so much about all the characters and I'm so happy and

go forth and read it RIGHT NOW.

YAY

I mean, it's not "happily ever after" - but that would be odd for a WWII book. It's amazing. It really, really is.

And you will care so much. So much. I just love this to pieces. Some of it reminds me a little of the spying bits in Connie Willis's Blackout/All Clear (but I don't think you've read those?).

YES

I really love that it doesn't have romance, that it's really a friendship

also

"It's like being in love, discovering your best friend"
