Nora follows a boy across the world and they end up in Paris where they reconnect with a childhood friend who has made a name for herself and they are introduced to the glamorous side of Paris. Things combust and World War II takes it toll on the world.
The one thing that kept me reading from beginning to end was the ability to see Paris through an American's viewpoint and watching the beginning of Hitler's reign through her eyes. It took quite a few pages to get to that point, but I cherished her descriptions of watching World War II impact Paris but in her heart being an American. On the flip side, I found Nora to be whining and frustrating. I wanted her to grow up and felt that she honestly didn't have much personal growth through her journey.
