katie_daly_5107 shared a tip "Inspired by an astonishing true story from World War II, this novel follows Eva, a young woman who uses her talent for forgery to help hundreds of Jewish children flee the Nazis. But Eva decides she must find a way to preserve the real names of the children, who are too young to remember who they really are by creating a code in an old book using the Fibonacci sequence. She suffers through her father being taken captive, fleeing with her mother, losing her love interest (Remy) to fighting, and constant fear of being found. In the end, Eva believes her had died in the camp and her mom never makes it across the border to Switzerland. Years later, Eva travels to Germany to claim the Book of Lost Names and she meets a man who also claims the book, her former love interest, Remy."
