""""A quick read that history lovers will easily devour.""""--Teen Vogue """"Get ready to be transported to Paris in Taylor's incredible debut novel.""""--Seventeen, Editor's Choice Code Name Verity meets Jennifer Donnelly's Revolution in this gripping debut novel. NOW: Sixteen-year-old Alice is spending the summer in Paris, but she isn't there for pastries and walks along the Seine. When her grandmother passed away two months ago, she left Alice an apartment in France that no one knew existed. An apartment that has been locked for more than seventy years. Alice is determined to find out why the apartment was abandoned and why her grandmother never once mentioned the family she left behind when she moved to America after World War II. With the help of Paul, a charming Parisian student, she sets out to uncover the truth. However, the more time she spends digging through the mysteries of the past, the more she realizes there are secrets in the present that her family is still refusing to talk about. THEN: Sixteen-year-old Adalyn doesn't recognize Paris anymore. Everywhere she looks, there are Nazis, and every day brings a new horror of life under the Occupation. When she meets Luc, the dashing and enigmatic leader of a resistance group, Adalyn feels she finally has a chance to fight back. But keeping up the appearance of being a much-admired socialite while working to undermine the Nazis is more complicated than she could have imagined. As the war goes on, Adalyn finds herself having to make more and more compromises--to her safety, to her reputation, and to her relationships with the people she loves the most.

The way these parallel stories converge is brilliant and satisfying. I had to read this book all at once."" -- ""Florence Gonsalves, author of Dear Universe"" ""Get ready to be transported to Paris in Taylor's incredible debut novel."" -- ""Seventeen"" ""Gripping."" -- ""Kirkus Reviews"" ""Narrators Liza Seneca and Reba Buhr deliver the dual narrative...Buhr voices Alice with a light, youthful tone, connecting emotionally through the ups of a budding romance and the heartache of seeing her mother suffer from debilitating depression...Seneca voices Adalyn's chapters primarily in a French accent, immersing listeners in Paris of the 1940s. Seneca's passionate delivery echoes Adalyn's struggle to maintain her social status among the Nazis while working to undermine their presence. An inspiring listen."" -- ""AudioFile""
