The Paper Girl of Paris

Wow. Both Alice\’s and Adalyn\’s stories are captivating and the writing is so, so beautiful–lyrical even. I laughed and at times gasped out loud. I was continuously surprised and delighted by the mystery and the relatability of the characters. I was drawn in not only by the plot but by the history so carefully woven throughout the lives of Alice and Adalyn. I\’m sure I must have learned about the French resistance in school numerous times, but I\’ll never remember it better and have felt it more than through the words of The Paper Girl of Paris. Absolutely lovely and highly recommended! The narration was amazing to listen to. The accents felt just right.

I loved everything about this book, from the storylines to the performance! My favorite part was hearing about Adalyn\’s story and all that she did during the war. Going into this book I didn\’t know much about German-occupied France, so it was amazing to hear it from her perspective. I felt like was actually there with her. I felt her pain, her fear, her determination. It really captivated me and made me more interested in learning about the history behind everything. One negative comment is that Alice\’s storyline felt kinda predictable, especially in comparison to Adalyn\’s. There were times where I felt like it wasn\’t as thought out, or as important as Adalyn\’s, but maybe that was the point. But none-the-less, I really loved this book and will definitely be listening to it again!

This is a new favorite for me. It’s a mixture of lilac girls and Alice Network. The author did a great job in my opinion of blending the 1940s era France with the young American girl in modern day figuring out the mystery of her family. If you are a fan of this genre give this debut title a try!
