This is one of those books where I can respect that it’s well written and the characters are well developed, however the subject matter makes me want cry like non stop. I feel so bad for Rey. The whole wedding invitation scene made me borderline sick.

“And I’ve become aware that my medals will reduce to dusty collectibles, and my name will never be written in a textbook, and I will eventually recede into oblivion.

I wasn’t expecting a reylo fic to be so 🧐

Wow this fic depicts the post war 50s extremely well. I’m kind of shocked with how the author represents the dichotomy of the extremely rigid social structure and the almost blatant disregard to safety (leaving your teenage daughter with neighbors you barely know for 2 weeks or driving drunk)
