i loved this novel so much it hurts. i wasn't expecting to read it as fast as i did, buy i had to it was THAT good. every character was interesting to me, and the plot was perfect. i'm glad there is more awareness being brought upon the WOMEN who struggled and fought to survive through this war. not only men were apart of war people! i would definitely pick this up again, and i can't wait to see the film.
"how can i start at the beginning, when all i can think about is the end?"

Loved the ending, but the rest of the book moved pretty slowly, and the whole thing, like many historical fiction books, felt like it was glamorizing trauma and pain by putting characters in the worst situations and then making some deep message about it once they survived
