saturday's review
3.0
There were some great parts to this story, and some parts that I didn't love. Don't expect historical accuracy here.
Still, we have a plot that's not overly complicated and realistic. I appreciated that. Does Rose seem a little too good to be true at times? Sure. Are Harry's war experiences a bit underplayed? Definitely.
It's a sweet romance and honestly, I liked that about it. I don't need raging passion, but a sweet romance between two kind and deserving characters was so good for me. Some of the development of the romance took me out of the story, because it's something I would expect in an inferno passion type story and not the sweet romance it was. It was a matchstick trying to be a towering inferno. I know this is the fourth time I've said sweet romance, but I don't mean it as a backhanded compliment or sly dig, but as something I enjoyed.
We have lots of family vibes going on, which I love. I'm a sucker for the one big happy family trope. I haven't read Emma or Jane's novels, and just realized their names might have meaning... I also thought that Charlie's story would be wrapped up in this one, but I guess he got his own book.
