As a military veteran and an ex-military spouse and a single mother, this book sounds pretty darn spot on! SNAFU is life in the Army, but you adapt and overcome. This is a great description of that.
I have been looking forward to reading this 3rd book for quite some time. This book was great because it felt so real. I already loved the author’s dialogue style because it feels so conversational this book is different than the other two because of the personal journey the protagonist has. It was vulnerable and while I do not have any personal connection to the military I can see elements of what other people I know have gone through as well with deployment. In the previous books at times I felt the ending was rushed this book didn’t do that I felt there was great pacing. Again I loved it. It is an easy read.
A journey as a couple navigate family, military life, and long distance and the intimate needs of their relationship while thousands of miles apart a sweet authentic story of the difficulties of being a military family
Military wife and kids.while Dad is overseas on assignment. Sarah has a lot to learn about herself during this period. She is wanting one thing and while being apart it just does not work out. Both learn and really opens your eyes as to how the spouse handles everything while overseas calls them to duty.
A cute daddy and Middle story. I like that is based upon a real relationship between two people, who love each other very much but also have their struggles with him being away for over a year because of his job.
This book displayed some of the true struggles with military marriages! My favorite part had to be the epilogue, the words of the wife. That part was extra touching bc it’s all soooo true as a military wife.
Cute and to the point. Was expecting a bit more on the dom/sub plot line. Everything felt a bit scattered. It does show how tapped out you feel when your other half is deployed. That part is pretty well written.
