What a lovely read. While this is a love story - well, actually, two love stories - I also felt it was so much more. It was emotionally gripping, sorrowful, resilient, surprising, mysterious, and poignant.

My favorite part about this book is the determination and awe-inspiring grit of the book's heroines - Scarlett, Constance, and Georgia - two sisters who lived in 1940s war-torn England and then one woman who lived in the more modern and present day, and, a descendent of Scarlett. They weren't flawless, and sometimes you were frustrated by their choices, but they were beautifully written. Additionally, while not as developed as the heroines, Jameson and Noah were some of the more swoon-worthy men I've read about. However, in this book's fashion, also describes those two as complex characters overcoming a lot of their own flaws and obstacles. The love stories were a bonus to an already powerful story. 

Like most who've read this book and felt similarly to me, I bounced from laughter, fear, and hope during all the chapters and nearly felt right by the characters' sides, either during World War II or the present-day Rocky Mountains. Grief, happiness, and strength oozed in the pages, and I felt all of it as I devoured this book in two days because of how engrossed I was in the pages. Part of me did feel the ending was rushed just a tad, and sometimes the timelines could be slightly confusing, but overall this book was a great read. Thank you to Rebecca Yarros for writing a captivating novel and including one of the more jaw-dropping scenes I've read in a long time.
