Absolutely DEVOURED this book in less than 24 hours. Could not put it down, save for the incredibly emotional moment that had me flinging the book across the table. The MMC and FMC are beautifully, heartbreakingly written. This love story is absolutely epic and worth every heart pounding second. 

Only thing preventing 5 stars is a slightly white-savior tone to the war in Afghanistan.

I started reading Rebecca Yarros because of the fourth wing, but will continue to read Rebecca Yarros because of this book. It was a simple read, but I was easily wrapped up in the characters and the story line. The pace felt easy, and I usually have a hard time bouncing back and forth between characters and time periods, but i tracked with the change up easily in this book. Added bonus: super solid smut scenes with emotional elements.

Oof. This was really good. The dual POV and timeline gave “One Day” vibes and I was totally here for it. It kept me on the edge of my seat with an ache in my chest from cover to cover. Tears were shed. Will definitely be reading more of Yarros’s contemporary stuff.

This book was amazing! I normally have a harder time getting into a romance book but this one had me hooked from the second I started reading it. The premise is interesting and every chapter reveals a new puzzle piece in a beautiful love story. Also it’s giving enthusiastic consent. 
At the same time it is raw and I had a couple of moments where I had to put the book down and think about the reality in which we live. 
Would recommend but maybe not to everyone as there are quite some triggering moments described.
