“She’d never even had a credit card.” It’s 1974… women couldn’t GET credit cards until 1974. Lol

If he didn’t really love her, WHY would he re-up for another year of the hell of war?

What does it tell the reader that the man who got her into the military, telling her women can be heroes, is a liar? This needs wrapped up. Hopefully it will be. Otherwise this seems a pretty fatal flaw.

We naturally trusted Rye, as he was Fin’s bff. Was her brother mistaken in being friends with him? Is he not so bad??

Things this protagonist can do: immediately look up a man’s wife in hospital records when his name is mentioned. Things this protagonist cannot do: look up a man from few fraught years’ prior, whose fate was uncertain tho bleak, whom she loved?

Pacing is very fast now.

Cant decide why her friends have fared so much batter than her, post-war.

“she couldn’t wait to tell them about the engagement” but she’s been engaged for two months?

I feel like the book is finally back on track. It was reasonable, what she went thru and felt after the war, but it was also so boring a read after the exciting and compelling events jn Vietnam.

I had a hard time imagining Henry looking like anyone other than Cheech.

I just need it to be said that Jamie is not a womanizer. Then itd be perfect.
