5.0

5 stars even though the ending has broken my heart and I now have to rush to read the next one. I have to say, this book is not an easy read, because it describes very heavy topics such as alcoholism and war in a very realistic way. The writing is impeccable and compelling. I never understood what people meant when they said that a book was atmospheric, but I get it now. I felt like I was there in the trenches with them, I felt the anxiety and fear of the war and the happiness and excitement of the romance. 
The only thing I would change is the book description and name, I think they don't match the theme of the book at all. 
All in all, a great book, even if it made me feel anxious and like I had a weight on my chest from time to time.
