All We Thought We Knew by Michelle Shocklee
5.0
✅ Dual-Timeline Novel
✅ WW2 + Vietnam War
✅ Slow Burn Romance
✅ Suspensful historical fiction - I couldn’t put it down!
This book is absolutely one of my favorite books of 2024 so far! Michelle Shocklee is a master of writing and it is obvious as she weaves a beautiful and heart-wrenching story of hope and perseverance through some of life’s most difficult trials. I was so moved by what I was reading that I couldn’t put the book down. I read the entire novel in one day! The characters felt real and the faith was inspiring and motivating. It was enthralling to read about WW2 and the Vietnam War through the eyes of people that history often forgets (or completely leaves out)! Their perspective gives you a better-rounded view of what it was like to live - and to suffer - during that tragic time. The romance was beautiful and I loved that it was a slow-burn. It helped the story feel that much more real as if you were transported back in time and were witnessing the growth of these relationships yourself. I so highly recommend everyone pick up this novel and read it.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the advance e-copy of this book! All opinions expressed are entirely my own.
