I knew the book had a twist, so I did catch on about halfway through. There are little hints here and there, but I could see how it’d come as a surprise if you’re not looking for it!

I cried 😭

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.

I did not expect to love this story as much as I did. Romance novels are not normally the ones with a twist so surprising that you actually need to put the book down and walk away for a minute, but that's exactly what Rebecca does here.

The past and present are weaved together brilliantly all throughout this story and when you do finally see the big reveal, you realize that the breadcrumbs have been there all along.

Noah and Georgia. Scarlett and Jameson. Constance and Edward. You'll fall in love with these characters over and over and over again. With each passing page and chapter you realize that life is complicated, but love? Love can change everything.

Wow. That’s all I can say right now. The story between Noah and Georgia paralleled with Jameson and Scarlett is perfectly heartbreaking. The plot twist at the end I never saw coming, further breaking my heart for these characters. A little slow to start, but wow. I did not expect any of that to happen. A must read!!!
