5 stars

I'm gobsmacked. I have cried twice. The first was only 31% in. The second, I'm sure you will figure it out. This story was more than a story. It was pure perfection written on these pages. Hands down one of the best of 2018.

I'm not going to give spoilers but will say that my heart ached for Gavin, Katy, and Chris. War changes people. What these three endured. Good lord. The authors went above and beyond showing how it alters the template of who they are. Hell, this book changed my template and I didn't even go to war.

Not an easy decision in this book as either man would have had me loving them. Hell, I did/do love them both.

Grab your favorite drink (I suggest wine), find a comfy spot, and grab your Kleenex, you are going to need them. Then, enjoy this masterful, poignant, and beautiful story. ( )
