5.0
This book has such an interesting premise, that it is hard to ignore. Like, who would think a World War I story told by greek gods from the 40s could cause one to have such a deep emotional attachment to all the characters. I found James and Hazel’s romance very sweet and light, which contrasted nicely with the more dark relationship between Aubrey and Colette. Absolutely loved this book and is definitely one of my new favorites I would recommend to anyone. (P.S. Anyone who listens to music while they read like me, the La La Land instrumental soundtrack is perfect for this book. It’s just *mwah* chefs kiss)
