This book wrecked me emotionally. Sometimes everything’s not just black and white. There’s this grey area and Heather & Kate explored this in such a thought provoking way.
It made me rethink my stance on certain things. Is there an exception to cheating? Is it wrong to fall out of love? Maybe not if it’s in exceptional circumstances such as this...
She wrote this story eloquently and beautifully realistic even with the horrifying details. Rest assured, I’ll be reading more of their books.

Yeah, NOPE!!
#teamgavin this book has 1 of the sweetest best men and she chooses the other. Nope! Not a fan, shouldn’t have even started it with cheating happening. My fault, finished it. Hated the naïveté. Crap. And yes that letter is complete BS!!! Granted I know her life was completely turned upside down, but damn heart wrenching. Gavin needs a book and it needs to be EPIC!!

“I am two different women, living in two separate worlds, in love with two different soldiers.”
This book was just amazing!! I went into it completely blind and what an eye opener it was. We don’t hear a lot about POW’s and it was refreshing and devastating to see their side.
I’ll be honest, I was torn on who I wanted Katy to end up with. I would have been happy with either man as they are both wonderful! I found myself cheering for Briggs at the beginning due to his charm, humor and funny personality. Then after everything that happened I was cheering for Gavin. His devotion, love and understanding was so heartbreaking to witness and I felt I suffered right along with him. Then toward the end when Katy had to decide I just couldn’t choose anymore. It came down to her being happy and that’s all that mattered.
I think readers will find this story not only beautiful but also shocking as we get that behind the scene look at what soldiers deal with everyday after experiencing the things they do in war. I felt the story was very well written, well portrayed in the veteran aspect and just all around a super emotional read. The angst is real and when authors have you rooting for both men you known they’ve portrayed them perfectly. My heart broke for both at different times.
Definitely a 5 star read!

It’s hard to put into words what this book is like. It’s a roller coaster of emotion. That gut wrenching feeling when you’re on a free fall and your stomach feels like it goes to your throat. That’s what I felt while reading this. It is so beautifully written and eye opening. I was scared, especially of how it could possibly end. I cursed the authors numerous times. Yelling no no they wouldn’t do that no! But they didn’t disappoint.
I imagine writing a book is similar to an actor preparing for a role. You have to immerse yourself to where your characters go. Kate and Heather as your reader, I felt exactly where you were when you wrote this. I felt the pain, the loneliness, the joy, everything. I can’t imagine if as a reader I felt is so deeply, what you two must’ve felt while writing it. All I can say is thank you. Thank you for putting this bittersweet masterpiece together. It opened my eyes to a whole new view on the men and women who sacrifice so much for our country. I don’t know how long it’ll take me to recover, since my heart feels like I just went through a hard breakup, but it was so worth it. Best read of 2018 by far!

This book. Wow.
I am up at 3am crying with a full heart.
I don’t usually like love triangles but this was something so much deeper than that. It’s about trying to find your way back to “normal life” after suffering severe trauma and then realizing that you are forever changed. It’s about a woman coming to terms with her new reality and accepting that it might mean changing what she had expected her forever to look like entirely.
There’s not many times I’ve come across a book that I know will stick with me for a long time, but this one definitely will.

You have to know that I have an open mind, a really open mind. But betrayal, especially cheating, is usually a big no for me. This book started well, I was intrigued and I kind of liked both main characters and I loved how the female protagonist kept talking about her son and husband, like it was the only way to remember them?
Then, the second part of the book happened. I hated that part, I felt like I was watching an Italian tv series and I swear, I couldn’t bear reading about both characters.
This book was not for me, I didn’t like how the authors developed everything in the last part of the book. 3 stars just because I think the epilogue actually saves a lot of the book and because I think the first part was really good.
Final vote: 3/5

Mother of God you guys. This book will wreck you but the authors are kind enough to put your heart back together. 😂😂😂 All I'm saying go buy this book, read it, savor it , hell devour it. But tissues and possibly alcohol is needed depending on how you react to this book. I loved this book so much. It was worth every emotion I felt throughout it. I love both of these authors and to have them write a book together was very epic.
