I have mixed feelings on this one. It’s very well written, researched, the whole nine yards. But I feel like it went on for so long and could’ve probably been 100 pages shorter.

It’s also just not my typical read, which is fine. Normally I’m reading romance or some sort of fantasy novel (even better when they’re mixed!), and this clearly wasn’t one of those. I still think it was a good book, just not something I’d normally reach for.

I think my biggest issue was that Frankie only became interesting in the last 20% of the book. You could’ve picked anyone else from that field hospital and instantly had a better story.

Anyway, I know everyone at book club says I rate harshly but I’m gonna give this one 3.5/5 stars (I’ll round up for GR)

You’ll like this if you enjoy historical fiction, war stories, or the History channel.
