“The Paris Secret” by Lily Graham tells the story of Valerie who was born in Paris during World War II. She grows up in London with her aunt, but travels back to Paris when she is twenty to find out the truth about her family and why they gave her away. She goes undercover to work at her Grandfather’s bookstore, and with the help of some snooping and a close neighbor she learns the truth of her past and her parents lives in the war.

I really like how this book was written going back and forth from the war to Valerie’s life working at the bookstore. The chapters are a good length making this book very easy to read. The story itself is what is expected of a novel set in World War II, but the way it is written makes it a great read. I cared about the main characters and wanted to know what happened to Valerie’s parents just as much as she did. I would definitely recommend this book to a friend.

I want to thank NetGalley and Bookouture for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
