(3.5)I enjoyed Tessa Harris' book [b:The Light We Left Behind 59746352 The Light We Left Behind Tessa Harris https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1638529158l/59746352.SY75.jpg 93590835] so I was optimistic about [b:The Paris Notebook 75336140 The Paris Notebook Tessa Harris https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1673872695l/75336140.SY75.jpg 100347575] as well — especially with such a vibrant cover! While I can't say it surpassed The Light We Left Behind for me, it was still quite an interesting read. When Katja takes a job at a clinic. Doctor Viktor assigns her the task of typing up secret medical records belonging to Adolf Hitler. She is persuaded by the doctor to take the manuscript to Paris with him. They do so at great risk, having to evade the Nazi spies. I didn't click with the characters as much as I would have liked to. The plot was interesting and unique, however, I didn't feel myself hanging onto every word. Still, it was an enjoyable read. I always enjoy finding WWII fiction that can stand out against the typical formulas. A huge thanks to Harper360 for sending me a free (US) ARC of the book!
