The Number of Love, Roseanna White. (Book Review)



About the book:

 Three years into the Great War, England’s greatest asset is their intelligence network—field agents risking their lives to gather information, and codebreakers able to crack every German telegram. Margot De Wilde thrives in the environment of the secretive Room 40, where she spends her days deciphering intercepted messages. But when her world is turned upside down by an unexpected loss, for the first time in her life numbers aren’t enough.

Drake Elton returns wounded from the field, followed by an enemy that just won’t give up. He’s smitten quickly by the too-intelligent Margot, but how to convince a girl who lives entirely in her mind that sometimes life’s answers lie in the heart?

Amidst biological warfare, encrypted letters, and a German spy who wants to destroy not just them, but others they love, Margot and Drake will have to work together to save them all from the very secrets that brought them together.

My thoughts: 5/5 stars

 Spies and codes, and secrets, oh my!

  The Number of Love grips you at every page turn. A new secret, a new code, a dangerous spy mission, and sweet, beautiful love stories.

Simple, yet poetic. Funny, yet heartwarming. 

Not only was all the action super fun, but the characters were deep and diverse. These compelling characters really had a story to tell.
 Each one had a perspective on life. It was really incredible to view such an interesting period of history through these deep thinkers and feelers eyes.

  Margot was sarcastic, funny and a genius. She was generous, kind and is no like no other character I've met.
 
The same goes for Drake. Both were diverse and layered characters. 

Not one to waste air on useless words Margot is quiet,  determined and feels the need to be completely on her own.
 Buuuut then Drake walks into her life and everything familiar is swept away, replaced with exciting new adventures that might just lead to the most exciting adventure of all- love.

He is feeling, she is thinking. 
Combine the two and you'll get a really epic love story.
