I wanted to like this book so badly. I can get behind flowery language, I did like several of the letters, but everything in between made no sense. This was a no plot just vibes book but in a negative sense. There was no context to make me feel for the characters, understand the war, understand why the they in particular were in it. It just didn't hit for me, sad to say.

Just as good the second time around. I will say I'm a sucker for knowing things but i remember loving it the first time not knowing the end too. I will say if there was any part that I should've been confused in, it was part 4. 8 years does make a difference reading though, I know I definitely understood more of the book (not just the foreshadowing but the rest) that I definitely didn't at 13. VERY excited to read book 2 hopefully tomorrow!

I can't tell you a darn thing that happened here that isn't in the synopsis. This was a miss for me, boring boring boring

It in fact did not get better and the baby was a minor nuisance of a plot point

I'm sorry, it's just not what I wanted it to be
