Part of me wants to give this book five stars (which I might end up doing after I sleep on it), but another part had some issues.
I will start by saying this one my book club read for the month so it was broken up to 9 chapters a week. I ended up reading way ahead because I was so pulled into the story.
I also cried alot and was really moved by the characters. I loved Sniper so much I wanted him to have his own book.
But...the love between George and Char was pretty insta-loveish. They hadn't really spent that much time with each other and gotten to know each other well. Yet he put up with her just taking charge of his life. I don't see many people doing that for someone they just met.
We also could have had a bit more editing on the first few chapters. I didn't notice as many issues later on and think it was just that first batch.
We also could have gone without the epilogue. It actually made me like the characters less because I really did not see that as being something they would do. So I am choosing to pretend I didn't read it.
The story though, it really did move me. I really did love this book.
