4.25

Morally or the story: you’re Barbie and he’s just Ken…

I had a feeling that neither Jamie or Rye were actually dead… I liked the reunion at the end with Jamie but also would’ve been perfectly content with her not finding Jamie again. I view it more of a two vets that went through hell and back living their lives together not necessarily them turning into lovers but I think that takes away from the story. I think the only reason why I have this a 4.25 and not a 5 was because of the subplot with Rye after the war. I get that it was used as a catalyst for Frankie hitting rock bottom but damn it was a bit annoying
