As with many of Kristin's books, this was an emotional and thought-provoking story covering a subject that has little to mainstream media coverage. Following Frankie's journey from naive young woman to hardened veteran struggling with her trauma was challenging and at some points, downright emotionally draining. Learning more about what Vietnam veterans, particularly women, struggled through was heartbreaking and makes you consider all the things we'll never truly know about that war. I feel like as a representation of all the possible outcomes, Frankie had every curveball thrown her way- romantically, professionally, and personally. I was glad when she finally found her peace and a calling in life. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys Hannah's books, is looking for a story about strong women, or any interest in learning the forgotten stories of the Vietnam War.
