I am LOVING this book. Anyone else read it? 

And how have I never read any WWI Historical Fiction before?

    I want to read this SO BAD.  I want to read all the books right now! I seriously just told SnShne that I need to slow down in buying so many books, but I really think I need this one.

    Did you ever read Me Before You?  Hmmm?? I feel like you didn't.

    Nope, not yet. Everyone has told me it's depressing though, so I'm trying to space out the sadz. I've heard this one is a tearjerker, too, but it's my IRL book club's pick for the month so I'm reading this one first.

    I ASSURE you I did not say it was depressing. It's a sad subject but the character relationships are great.  I did not cry in this book.

    That was not her! That was our other friend Dania. LOL. She told me not to read it because no one gets laid.  But I'm going to read it anyway.

    RIGHT? I had no clue. But the whole first half of the book, I was wondering how I never heard that it was so sad.

    Nope, you don't have to read them in order.  And either book can stand alone.

    Both are fantastic!
