From international bestselling author Mario Escobar comes a story of escape, sacrifice, and hope amid the perils of the second World War.

August 1942. Jacob and Moses Stein, two young Jewish brothers, are staying with their aunt in Paris amid the Nazi occupation. The boys' parents, well-known German playwrights, have left the brothers in their aunt's care until they can find safe harbor for their family. But before the Steins can reunite, a great and terrifying roundup occurs. The French gendarmes, under Nazi order, arrest the boys and take them to the V lodrome d'Hiver--a massive, bleak structure in Paris where thousands of France's Jews are being forcibly detained.

Jacob and Moses know they must flee in order to survive, but they only have a set of letters sent from the South of France to guide them to their parents. Danger lurks around every corner as the boys, with nothing but each other, trek across the occupied country. Along their remarkable journey, they meet strangers and brave souls who put themselves at risk to protect the children--some of whom pay the ultimate price for helping these young refugees of war.

This inspiring novel, now available for the first time in English, demonstrates the power of family and the endurance of the human spirit--even through the darkest moments of human history.

Rollercoaster of a ride
Format: Kindle
I have to admit, sports romance is one of my two favorite tropes; the other being celebrity romance. I don't think Clare Lydon could write a bad book if she tried. The Princess Match is a rollercoaster of a ride. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Superb debut!
Format: Kindle
Wow! I loved this book so much! I've been a pro tennis fan since I was a little kid, so I put this book on my TBR the moment I saw it. However, had I known about the supernatural soulmate/soulmark element (first time I've ever heard of that trope) I would have moved it to the top of the pile IMMEDIATELY. Now I can't wait to read more, both in that trope and from this author. A great debut, and I can't wait to read future books from this writer!

magical realism + sports romance
Format: Paperback
3.75★ sapphic challengers with some ashley poston-esque magical realism! this was a fun twist on the soulmate concept, making them real possibilities for the lucky few born with the name of their marking their wrist. for luca, it's everything she's dreamed of. for juliette, it would only get in the way of her tennis dreams. luca and juliette face off as tennis rivals who also happen to be soulmates. juliette deals w the pressure of being 3rd in a whole family of tennis aficionados while luca deals w her legendary plays as merely "luck". if you really like tennis or the sports aspect of sports romance, this definitely gets into the thick of it. sometimes it was confusing for me as someone who doesn't really know tennis well, but generally, i enjoyed it. The romance was really cute, I did find Juliette a little bit bratty in the beginning (probably deliberate) but there's definitely growth with their relationship. Overall, it was an enjoyable sports romance with a little ✨ an honest arc review ♡

Decent fluffy beach read
Format: Paperback
As a lifelong tennis fan and a queer woman, I was excited to find this book. However, the writing and characterization were not the best and I found the language used to describe the sex scenes pretty distasteful (like something you'd find in a hetero romance novel, I imagine). Nevertheless, I finished the book and it was still a decent fluffy beach read.
