I loved that this was compiled by 3 authors. The three storylines of our courageous leading ladies all intertwined, with enough mystery of how it would all fold together, to keep me up late to finish!

Firstly, any book by these three authors, whether a solo or group effort, is worth reading. That goes without saying, so I went into All the Ways We Said Goodbye with high hopes. I was not disappointed. The story jumps between 1914, 1942, and 1964 but has a great flow and doesn't feel disjointed at all. I think the character I liked the best was Babs- I really enjoyed her journey throughout the story and how it all came together. This was a really satisfying read- so finish reading this review and go pick up a copy!

I’ve read a few WWII historical fiction books. This one was enjoyable. I loved the strength of the women in this book.

This is the third novel by the author trio of Beatriz Williams, Lauren Willig, and Karen White and like its predecessors it covers events in three time periods with historically related women. This book parallels events from 1914, 1942 and 1964 and uses the Ritz Hotel in Paris as its focal point. As they did in The Glass Ocean and The Forgotten Room, each of the trio writes her own story in the time period and each story is interrelated through the time span.
The characters are well developed and the plotlines are believable. It is historical romance for sure and I usually don't enjoy that type of book but I did enjoy this.

Predictable and not really believable but entertaining enough. I enjoyed his the different timelines wove together.
