I did not enjoy this read very much. The hype was not all it proclaimed to be.

I spent days thinking about this book after I had finished reading it. If that isn’t a reason to give a book 5 stars, then I don’t know what is!

I do not normally read books of this genre, but I truly enjoyed every second of it!  The topic was quite heavy and emotional, but I was looking for a book with more substance, and this one turned out to be a gem. I highly recommend it to anyone, even if a military thriller is not the usual read.

I found this book after reading Little Women, and to say I was shocked is an understatement.  Alcott seems to be a completely different writer in the creation of this masterpiece!  The fact that a woman of that time period wrote this blows my mind.  I love the darkness and mystery wrapped up in this story of a young woman trying to escape from a man whom she hastily married to get away from her dull life.  You must read it!

The storyline of this book was cute and I enjoyed how the author really connects the reader to the main character, but the foul language was quite unpleasant to read and certain parts were not very savory to read.  This was a fun book to quickly read, but I would not read it again.
