This was a really sweet and simple book that had the entire feeling of The Nutcracker to it, retold in a WWII setting. It brings awareness to the fact that to choose to love is to choose that person, even if they will always struggle with a hardship. Definitely recommend as a cute, clean, short romance for Christmastime!
