Lovely War by Julie Berry

4.5

---

A very touching Historical Fiction romance novel. I am not often drawn to war stories, but the twist of involving the Greek gods into the story made it something that appealed to me. I'm so glad it did, because the content of this novel is so much deeper. I came for the Greek gods, and in the end I stayed for the two young couples and the depiction of what life was like in a time ravaged by The Great War. There's a diverse range of hardships, violence, and bigotry portrayed in the novel, but there's also some of the sweetest accounts of a love story I've read in a while.
