The Summer Garden by Paullina Simons

5.0

I really enjoyed this book. I would say that it almost stands alone, very different than the first two, but I would definitely recommend reading the first two books prior to this one. As this is taking place post-war, and Alexander and Tatiana are dealing with more "regular" issues... the gravity of how this new life is affecting them is really enriched if you had read the first two books. Although the common issues of life are very different than war, I thought this story had more complexity and nuances and the development of their relationship kept me glued to this book.
