I’ve been in a bit of a reading slump so it took me longer than normal to finish this book. It was a good one and I’ve really enjoyed reading through Yarros’ books. However this wasn’t my favorite. I didn’t like the very end. We find out all this dramatic information then they live happily ever after 3 pages later? Meh.

I loved this book. It was wonderful to read about all the different love stories including romantic and familial love ❤️ while also getting to read about the difficulties surrounding love during war times!

I fell for all the characters but especially Georgia! She overcome the loss of her grandmother (who was basically a mother to her), she divorced a husband who treated her awful, she dealt with her mom sucking, and still managed to open up and find love ❤️

There was also some twists within the book that I did not expect but I also really enjoyed! The ending of the book had tears in my eyes while I also had a huge smile on my face. I really enjoyed it.

The only negative was it can be difficult to keep up with the constant time jumps throughout but it was easy to get back on track!
