OMG this author. This author! I've been in awe of him since he published My Accidental First Date and I was lucky enough to read it (in fact, it was one of my first reviews). He amazed me throughout that kind of autobiography series, with his fresh, simple style and unique humor as he went through his journey of self-discovery, going through sensitive topics and some really difficult moments, sharing details of his life with us as if we were some old, close friends instead of simple readers. And he continued to amaze me with his next series, totally different from the first, where each book is even better than the last, each one focused on a different and sensitive topic, but without ever losing his style, and omg, so well written, with characters with so much depth (Cooper is my favorite, btw. He is one of the best MC I've ever read) that inside my mind the stories developed like watching a movie and not simply reading pages of a book.
And now, he show us again his amazing talent with this new story. And yes, the main axis is the romance between the two MCs, but what makes that romance stand out more, what makes it unique (and yes, I already used that word several times in this review!) and original, is the plot , and is the moment and place where it is set. In a time as difficult as the Second World War, where secrets and lies were daily food. In a world of spies and soldiers, of betrayal and subterfuge, blossomed a romance so special, so pure, that it shone through the darkness and danger that surrounded it. Will and Thomas faced not only having to survive a war that threatened to engulf the world, but also surviving a world that was not yet ready for a love like theirs.
An incredible story of adventure, danger and strong emotions, with two truly special MCs and an incredible support group of friends as sidlined characters. Highly, highly recommended even though we have to wait for the next book to find out how it continues!
I was given an advanced copy and voluntarily wrote a review.
