Thank you to St. Martin's Press for the Netgalley!

Wow. I know very little about the Vietnam War. After reading about it, while it seemed like an absolute waste, I could not be hurt for the people who came from a war they may not have asked to go to and how they were treated. Hannah clearly did a ton of research to make this book what it ended up being. 

I loved reading about Frankie, Ethel and Barb. Their stories and friendship were so well written. It was hard to see Frankie go through what she did when she arrived home, but such an important story to read. Seeing her ups and downs during a difficult decade of her life was heartbreaking. 

Overall, this book will be highly recommended by me for many, many years. 

My only qualm was the fact that both men were shot down and then found. I think Rye should have just been listed as a POW and maybe "killed" in the camp before coming back. It felt weird that every man she loved was shot down and never recovered. Then the only one not found was Fin.
