oaf what a story. I think I'd land this a 4.75⭐️ rounded up. A heartbreak on paper in so many ways. A story worth telling for so many people. This is a heavy historical fiction about the Women and men of the Vietnam War, the tragedy, the PTSD, substance abuse, health impacts, mental impacts, the love, lies, and lives of those who served, were lost, some found, but today can all be remembered.
