The story of two British girls during WWII, who are best friends, and end up getting separated while on a spy mission in France. I did not connect to the main characters, as it felt they were never fully fleshed out. Also, the narration style was irritating, the first part being a written-down diary that also served as a war confession, but mostly reads as a stream of thought. I was waiting for there to be a bigger reveal that would explain that character's style of writing, but I don't think we got one, besides her trying stretch time by gushing away? Btw 2 and 3 stars.
