Girl in the Blue Coat by Monica Hesse

4.0

Overall I really enjoyed this book. Total page turner, captivating in a heartbreaking, worried the whole time kind of way. I also loved the notes in the back about historical accuracy. I think the author did an incredible job conveying a fictional story around very true and devastating events.

That’s being said, the ending was super rushed and a bit confusing. I had to keep re reading parts to make sure I had it straight. Also the main character was pretty unlikable and I kept wondering how old this person was because she acted like a selfish teenager most of the time.

That being said, if you enjoy historical fiction this one is a must read!
