A review by annestef1a
My Beautiful Enemy by Sherry Thomas

5.0

This book is a literal GEM–you know, those novels with great plot, searing chemistry and heartbreaking romance, powerful characters, amazing storyline, but has low ratings and few reviews– I just can't believe My Beautiful Enemy isn't Sherry Thomas's best work because this is just as good to be adapted as a series or movie.

This is about two spies who fell in love and was seperated by their country, family, and opposing duty. Only to be reunited in the point of life where everything has changed. A tale of love, lost and sacrifice–and Good God! I'm such a sucker for these.

"The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are lovers who cannot be together, so they spend their lives on opposite banks of the Silver River, which is what the Chinese call the Milky Way."
“But on the seventh day of the seventh moon of the year, a flock of magpies form a bridge across the river, and they are briefly reunited, before they must each return to their own bank for the long wait to begin again.”
“It is up to the beholder to decide whether the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are about to reunite, or about to part again,” said Catherine...

“What is your verdict, Captain? Joyous reunion or more heartrending separation?”
