I will note that it was far more challenging to read than I expected. War is dark and the effect is has is seen clearly on every page of this book.

I loved the duo perspectives of both Eve and Charlie, it added a depth to the book and I loved to see their contrasts and similarities. It loses 0.25 of a rating purely because I feel like Charlie's perspective has nothing on Eve's, but it was nonetheless relevant to Eve's present story.
There were spicy moments, and swearing, which I found didn't take away from the plot or characters and I feel that reviews that claim they do, don't give Quinn enough credit for how they were used to show the development of character or who the characters were.
I'm thoroughly looking forward to reading more of Quinn's works because of this book!

TLDR: Go on an epic adventure through England and France with a motley crew from the perspective of Charlie and Eve. Teleporting you back to WWI and present day (1947) you'll be eagerly turning each page to see what happens next.

Both narratives blend together seamlessly in the final arc; everything comes full circle.
One of my favorite epilogues ever written; really pulled on the heart-strings.
