I feel like this story could have been so much more. It is like the story of female Vietnam veterans was made into something that anyone could like, which is great, but I wish that there was more bite to it. I wish the author wouldn't have pulled the punches throughout the story. The focus on her love life felt cheap when she had gone through so much and frustrating. I wish there were more diverse POVs throughout the book or more dialogue about the Black veterans and nurses in the war. 

Also, I hate Frankie.
