I am so sad to see the Chestnut Springs series end and to have to say goodbye, but it was amazing. First of all, let me just say as a veteran myself with wounds and scars and mental struggles, I felt that Elsie Silver really did such a good job capturing what this is like and how it feels. We saw Beau struggle but it didn't feel fake or just fiction. It felt very real, especially the aspects reagrding him transitioning back into civilian society and how Bailey treated him and the injuries to his feet. His trauma was discussed and addressed but it wasn't the main focus and didn't take a dark turn, so I appreciated that. I think military representation can be hard to nail in a book, especially when talking about combat and PTSD, but Elsie Silver did Beau justice. I loved seeing all of the Eatons and Jasper, and all of the wonderful ladies. It felt like family and I just wanted to be around that dinner table as they ate, told jokes, laughed, stirred up drama and more. Harvey is so funny and his no filter ways make me laugh so hard. He needs his own book! Although I was happy that he got a happy ending. One thing I'd like to point out: there is a significant age gap between Beau and Bailey (13 years) and he has experience while she does not when it comes to sex. She is a virgin and there were several times where I was cringing because you could TELL she was. She was discussing porn left and right like she was a teenage boy, she talked nonstop about sex, and I just felt like she came across as immature and this really infantilized her. It got MUCH better once she and Beau started hooking up and made things official and fell in love, but it was just a lot to stomach while it was going on. I do love Beau and Bailey together though! I really am so sad to see this series end, but I can't wait for what's next from Elsie Silver!
