3.5

I've read and loved previous works by this author, however this one didn't meet my expectations. But I'll start with the positives.

I found the storyline interesting and it kept me engaged. I finished it in two sittings and genuinely enjoyed the listen.
The subject matter was well researched and shed light onto the forgotten women that served in Vietnam, and the struggles that they faced.
The atmosphere was well done, making the book feel immersive. Which is something I've come to expect of Kristin Hannah's writing.

However, where it fell a little flat for me was that it at times felt really predictable. There was too much foreshadowing.
Also, and from this point on there will be some Spoilers, so don't read more if you don't want to have the book spoiled...

I didn't like the romanced plot or I should say plots.
Especially the jump from Jamie to Ry felt really fast, and none of the relationships felt like they had any depth to them. It never felt like she got to know them very much at all, before she was struggling with her feelings for a man she knows she shouldn't fall for.
However, the thing that I disliked the most was the ending. 

Overall this was a very fast paced book, with a lot of positives too it. But certain aspects fell flat for me. But I will definitely still pick up books by Kristin Hannah in the future.
