Messy romance with foolish twists and turns. The characters feel flat, the romances are poorly developed, and the plot "twists" are disappointing. She tries not to devalue her female protagonist to someone who just wants a husband, but that's what she ends up being. And Hannah stuffed every possible Vietnam consequence and trope into one novel - making it both educational but arduous and dull.
