Spice level 🌶️🌶️/4

This is my first read of a romance book from Rebecca. In this you have two current day POVs and book/letter excerpts from the WWII story line, also with two POVs.

A well written romance with some unexpected twists. The love between Scarlett and Jameson and Georgia and Noah is beautifully written and each fit within their own era. And whilst romantic love is the focus of the book, the love (or sometimes lack there of) between family and friends is just as significant and well written.

I enjoyed the dual perspectives from both different characters and time periods. I did not see the ending coming which did not disappoint for either Scarlett and Jameson or Georgia and Noah.

This book was soul crushing, empty my tissue box tear-jerking and contains a love story that felt more real than anything else. Jameson and Scarlett’s story was powerful and touched my heart so much. Along with their love story, we also got an amazing story of sisterly love between Scarlett and Constance woven in that was just as poignant as the romantic one. Set during WWII, Scarlett and Jameson fall in love with each other and find joy together. Both loving and getting to feel the once in a generation, lightning in a bottle love that I think everyone looks for, but few find. Their story makes this whole book shine. The added bonus of seeing the love and bond between Scarlett and Constance as two sisters who are nearly inseparable and who both give each their best, weaves through and ultimately shines bright. 

The ending of Scarlett and Jameson’s story was beautifully done, both the real life one, and the one that is written for them. 

Easily a 5 * read except for the second love story that is told. The one between Georgia and Noah pales in comparison, it feels rushed and put in as a filler that is too convenient. Every time I had to read about them I rushed and wanted to get to Scarlett and Jameson. It’s probably bad, but even the story of (BIG SPOILER DONT CLICK UNLESS YOU READ THE HOOK)

Constance and Brian, as briefly mentioned as it was, I think it was better.

To love like what Scarlett found, that’s what I want to find too.

I loved this book; it was beautifully written. Rebbeca’s descriptions of emotions and dialogue is incredible it makes you truly understand the characters.
I found myself falling in love with both love stories between Scarlett and Jameson and Noah and Georgia: but additionally I found myself really endeared by love Georgia has for Gran.
I really enjoyed the switch between perspectives and time periods.
I also found the characters really loveable.
The twist near the end of the book  was amazing.
You should definitely read!
