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.

Das war definitiv mal eine andere Art von romance. 

Die Geschichte erstreckt sich über 10 Jahre und wir wechseln zwischen der Vergangenheit von Izzy und Nate von 2011-2018 in Amerika und heute (2021) im Afghanistankrieg. 

Es ist eine Second Chance Romance vermischt mit einiges an Trauma, Hoffnung und ein wenig Politik. Nate ist in der Gegenwart ein Soldat im Special Forces der US Army und Izzy geht als Politikerin ins Kriegsland. 

Ihre Verbindung war für mich von Anfang an sehr echt und stark nachdem sie zusammen ein traumatisches Erlebnis überstanden haben und ich hab die beiden echt lieb gewonnen. 

Der Krieg wird eigentlich nicht außerhalb der Welt der beiden behandelt, was ich auch nicht groß erwartet habe. Schließlich soll es immer noch „nur“ eine Liebesgeschichte sein und kein historisch-politisches Werk. Ein bisschen mehr hätte ich mir schon gewünscht, damit man auch wirklich die Notlage spüren kann. Es gab auch nur minimalen Kontakt zu Betroffenen, was ich schade fand.
Nates Handeln war mir zwischendurch nicht ganz ersichtlich und im Nachhinein wäre er definitiv nicht MEIN Traummann, aber jedem das seine…
Der Spice war ganz gut :)

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.
