So amazing, heartbreaking, emotional, and beautiful. This book was worth every second and every page 🤍 The author writes in a way that makes you feel and truly connect with both main characters. I really appreciated the steady, but not too confusing, transitions between their points of view in the novel. Their growth was really so interesting and heartfelt to read. You truly connect and experience every single emotion with them. The story also highlights the strength and power in women in historical moments that are almost always surrounded around the highlights of men. You will feel empowered, scared, brave, ambitious, and extremely emotional. I love the female empowerment, romance, family and platonic love, and determination in the writing. The book shows that love is what can keep people strong in the most traumatic times. Wounds heal. Love lasts. 🩵
