One Good Thing by Georgia Hunter ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫 Thank you @prhaudio and netgalley for my gifted copy! Bethany's Review: 1940, WWII in Italy, Lili, a young Jewish woman, is trying to survive with her best friend, Esti. Esti is full of adventure and risk as Lili is more cautious as they travel through Nazi-occupied Italy. Fortunately, Esti’s skills of creating new id’s allow them to do so. When Esti is hurt, Lili takes on her young son as her own. The characters were all relatable, the writing drew me in right from the beginning. I love historical fiction when it shows the amount of research done, but in a seemingly effortless way. Hunter created scenes and situations that were believable for the times. This was a story of courage, heartbreak, survival, love and finding the good out of the bad. Sara's Review: The research put into this book was impeccable. Italy is not typically the location of WWII books, especially when it is about Jews, but I wish it was. The politics of living under Mussolini, especially as a Jewish person, during Hitler's reign, was fascinating, heartbreaking and horrifying. Although, not quite as horrifying as other parts of Europe during that time. A story about 3 best friends, 2 of whom are deemed inferior for being Jewish. When one has a son, they go into hiding as nuns, and find themselves doing everything they can to keep a little boy (and themselves!) safe from the war. The characters were incredible - well developed, engaging and incredible. I truly enjoyed reading about their experiences, relationships and what they had to do to make it through a difficult time in history. I found this book to be incredibly engaging, well written and detailed. The pace was perfect and I was disappointed when the story ended. LTKHome LTKSeasonal LTKFindsUnder50
