This book was so packed full of suspense that it kept me on my toes the entire time. Another thing, seeing Paul be a father to little Josie, was so sweet! She definitely stole the show a few times. Paul and Lucie's chemistry, though, was amazing. Although he did it differently than Lucie, his efforts were just as valiant, if not more. He did not allow prejudices and gossip to keep him from standing up for good in his own way. She did not allow the fear of dying to keep her getting mixed up with things that could definitely get her killed. Her bravery and desire to stand up for the truth against the Nazis were so inspiring. I honestly would have read about them sweeping, and I would have enjoyed it. Sundin writes, the characters in this book are amazing. Every single Sarah Sundin book I read, the more I fall in love with learning about World War 2. I do not know how she continues to write books that blow me away, yet she never fails to do so! Until Leaves Fall in Paris was yet another eye-opening book about how it would be to be an American in Europe during World War 2 pre-American involvement.
