i was kind of disappointed in the romance part, as i do not condone adultery, and there were some cliches that were pretty predictable.
overall a very emotional and reflective book that shines light on parts of the vietnam war that have not been talked about much or ever. it’s also quite readable for anyone who wants to get into this genre.
________
**slight spoiler** in hindsight, i should have looked up trigger warnings as there were talks about substance abuse, adultery, suicide, and addiction.
