Relying on well-researched facts about the Edelweiss Pirates, the 1943 Rose Street demonstration protesting the detention of intermarried Jewish men, and the astonishing work of the Monuments Men to recover looted art and books, Labuskes (The Librarian of Burned Books) has again hit the sweet spot in this story of passionate love, intense conflict, and ingenious resolution. Working with short, punchy chapters and a loosely connected timeline, she skillfully earns readers’ full attention.
Paul vividly captures her dueling protagonists in this entertaining read about the early days of the beauty industry. She deftly balances the fun of a good feud with the emotional pull of well-developed characters living through sobering events both in the world and in their personal lives. Recommended for fans of Renee Rosen and Fiona Davis.
Cabot returns to the “Little Bridge Island” series with another engaging read (after No Judgment). Rom-com fans looking to extend the beach-reading season should find this their next go-to read.
