Complicated
The saddest book I've read so far this year because of how realistic and detailed it is. You'll learn about experiences that the Vietnam vet you know IRL won't talk about. It's not cliché and not too focused on just one thing. You get everything: before, during, and after the war.
At first, I was nervous that it was going to be romantic or watered-down. But there's nothing fairytale about it. This story sheds light on the human condition and is beautiful in its emotional, raw way.
