As an Army wife, am I a masochist for reading a (fictional) book that deals with such real, personal, devastating subject matter? Maybe.
THIS BOOK destroyed me!! I was sobbing, actively sobbing, whilst reading the last 80 pages. And many other times throughout. This book will be in my heart and on my mind for a long, long time.

This is such a beautifully heartbreaking story that Amy Harmon weaves together so eloquently. It is hard not to just immerse yourself in it completely, and whole heartedly. (Just be prepared for your heart to get stomped on time and again. But don’t we all secretly love that while reading? ..Just me?)

The relationships in this book are some of the best I’ve ever read about! Bailey & Fern’s friendship, and love for each other is just awe inspiring! I loved their growth in this story, together and individually. I also grew up with my cousin as my best friend so that definitely touched my heart strings and had me reminiscent of our childhood memories. Bailey absolutely holds a place in my heart. I won’t forget him for a long time, if ever. Ugh, he’s my favorite!
But also the friendships amongst the wrestlers? Although I didn’t particularly like one of the 5 young men, their friendship was beautiful to see. I have to say that of the wrestlers, besides Ambrose, Paulie was my favorite. “Do you feel that?”
