Ronald H. Balson is one of those authors that never cease to pull me in. His writing is emotional, makes you feel like you're sitting with the characters, and accurately portrays intense and large historical moments. I loved how this story was told — almost like a story within a story. Teddy was an incredible narrator and I enjoyed how he and Karyn interacted. It's very detailed and I know Balson included both real and fictional people in this narrative. This book was heartfelt, emotional, and an easy page-turner. I couldn't stop reading. I did think there would be a Balson-esque twist at the end, so I felt like I wanted more in a sense when I didn't get one. The ending felt a little abrupt as well, but other than that I did really enjoy this book. Thank you to St. Martin's Press for the e-ARC to read and review!
