About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a tense WWII-era spy romance with shifting loyalties and emotional push-pull; Not for you if you dislike love stories driving the plot or find older pacing uneven, like in Rebecca or Spellbound.
Pros: gripping suspense; charismatic leads; twisty spy story | Cons: romance can feel forced; time jumps disorienting; plot convenience
