Very emotional and well done. Shines a light on under told stories. Some writing choices were not my favorite but overall extremely well done. Made me cry several times and really feel in it just some of the later plot twists felt unnecessary

hate a pregnancy trope and multiple he is not really dead is a lot but glad no man saved her but she saved herself and a man wasn't her happy ending but healing was and Jamie was just a cherry on top. The privilege that our main character had made many of the resolutions way more convenient than I suppose it was/is for the vast majority of vets which I suppose it made plot writing easier but which we got more of the common girl's story not just snips from Barb and Ethel

This is my favorite of the Kristin Hannah books that I have read. The topic is very relevant and important  and she does a good job bringing serious issues to light in a serious way. There are moments of levity and hope in the book but overall, it feels very real and poignant.
