I liked this book the best of the series. It wasn’t an amazing book, but it was more worth reading to me than the others. While there were definitely some cheesy parts and bad writing, particularly when it came to the romance, there were some really deep themes that ran through this novel. Like the impact of war on peoples lives and the way PTSD affects people and relationships. Or accepting, loving, and forgiving oneself. Or healing from past trauma and abusive relationships. I think those parts made the book worth reading. Maybe I was over analyzing it because I just took a class on War and Peace through literature and I was hyper focusing on those aspects, but I thought it was meaningful to touch on the realities of war.
