If you are looking for a hopeful book, stop! But if you are looking for a real, raw and painfully accurate account of a complicated woman who served during the Vietnam War, buckle up. Ms. Hannah didn't let up on my girl Frankie! Everytime I thought I was gonna get a cute little wrap up, Frankie would get sucker punched by life. It hurt but it was real AF. War sucks. PTSD sucks and there aren't always happy endings.
