Last Twilight In Paris by Pam Jenoff is a historical fiction story, not my typical genre but it has two of my favorite things, a touch of mystery and the allure of Paris. When Louise finds a locket that she recognizes, we’re introduced to a story that involves romance, mystery, espionage and at its a heart a story about discovering oneself. While this is a work of fiction, it felt so real at times knowing what we know in history. This is written in dual povs, Helaine in the past during the war and Louise in 1953. I was immediately captivated by the writing but also our main characters, their backstories are so well thought out. The attention to detail throughout this was incredible, the scenes in Nazi filled Paris gave me so much suspense! The overall story of the necklace kept me invested throughout and all comes together seamlessly. I must also give credit to the narrators, they both did such an amazing job and added so much depth. This is such a beautifully written and captivating story. This is my first read from the author and I am impressed. I highly recommend checking this out, it’s available for pre order now and out officially on 02/04/25.

🐝 Thank you to NetGalley, Harlequin Trade Publishing and Park Row for providing me this arc and of course to the author Pam Jenoff.

I was hoping to love this book because I have enjoyed both the author and the narrators in the past. Unfortunately, I found this book to be depressing. I may give it another shot some day. I honestly think the state of affairs that we are going through in the world made me feel depressed while reading this book, but I am not entirely sure. I am bummed that this book didn't work out, but again like I said, I may try it again at a later date.
