Sadly didn't enjoy this one. I enjoyed that this was historical fiction set during WW1 and there was thorough research into the setting, but the plot, themes, and characters were underdeveloped. I wanted more from Laura and Freddie. More background on these main characters that just seemed like blank walls.
