The Last Rose of Shanghai

Started out loving it but by the end was wondering if I hated it?

I enjoyed this book but felt like it could have been shorter as the back and forth of them needing to be together and then needing to be apart over and over again became too repetitive. I found myself wanting the story to move forward into more depth aside from the on again/off again from one chapter to the next. I did “enjoy” the perspective of living through the Japanese occupation of Shanghai as most World War II historical fiction takes place in Europe.
