    Dnf'd after part 1. I really tried finishing this book but it tried acting like it was deeper than what it really was. It was a huge disappointment. For a book to be marketed as shining a light on women's friendship and contribution during the Vietnam War, it just blatantly uses that as a backdrop to tell one woman's experience and doesn't even do it well. I felt like it was done injustice when the only other 2 women in the story weren't utilized besides as side characters and that only the main character's love interests were getting fleshed out more than her friends (but even then I felt like it was done poorly).

    It's honestly fine for this book to be historical fiction and romance but be truthful about it. I wouldn't have picked up this book if that was the case. I don't know how other people don't like this book for what it was marketed as. From other reviews it's mainly 5 stars which is insane to me. I felt like I was getting lied to when I read through half of it. But that's what I get for picking up a trending novel for once. Maybe other people can like it but I couldn't.

    I don't know if I really like the writing. There's something about it but I can't put my finger on it.

    At first the book was hard to get into, I didn't enjoy how long winded and slow it was but about a fifth way in I realized that's the point. The book is subtle and the enjoyment is in the pacing itself. After the initial irritation of not knowing how to read this thing, I started to see the story was not just in his memories but a bigger story was in the way he reacted to his past.
