review 1: I liked this World War II era novel because I love stories set during that time. I don't think this will be a best seller but it was enjoyable. It had somewhat of a bittersweet ending. I do have to make fun of the contradictory claims. It claims to be based on a true story, but then has that disclaimer in the front of the book about any person being similar to real persons is coincidental. I also did not enjoy the wedding aspect of the plot because I felt it was out of place/character for those during the war. It was also a southern wedding so it could very well be that it made sense to have a show of grandeur even during this time of practicality. The writer did well at portraying two voices as the novel switched narrators, especially because it also switched genders. I w... moreas entertained by this very typical WWII love story.
review 2: This book has a good story line..I love that it's based on a real life relationship. But I read this on my Kindle and I don't know if books on e-readers are not being edited as well as paper books, but there were a ton of typos in this book. That was very distracting to me. I cringed the couple of times that the Mayo Clinic was referred to as being in Rochester, Michigan!! I'm glad their marriage turned out so well but the story leading into it didn't indicate that it would. It doesn't say how he reigned in his jealous streak. It just disappeared! And the name of the book doesn't make sense to me, but maybe I'm being too picky. But, as I said, it was a sweet story. less
