This was a light, low-investment listen. I had a hard time liking a bunch of characters, but I think it was the intent of the author to make them a bit abrasive. I didn't really buy the romance arc, to be honest; I found it to be more of a side plot rather than being significant enough to call this a "romance".

There is discussion of a POW not of majority age who is the biological father of a named character. This minor is also a conscripted German soldier during WW2 .
The book made absolutely no sense. The characters seemed highly immature for their age. After over 100 pages there was still no character connection.

I did not particularly like this book. There was way too much miscommunication between the characters, and many of the characters had fairly unlikeable personalities. It was an okay read but definitely not my favorite.
