I didn’t like the ending, and felt like there wasn’t any focus on character development/flaws. It was okay, but honestly I think it could’ve been a bit better.

I went in not expecting much from this book but it actually wasn’t that bad. Yeah, it was very predictable and not really well-written but when you expect a traditional war story than you won’t be disappointed. I really liked the characters and it was sad even though it wasn’t that well-written because of the storyline. It was really interesting to read about the events in London and Billy’s such a nice person wow. Hope Millie is gonna film a movie to the book.

Having seen quite a few negative reviews I admittedly went into this with quite low expectations but I really enjoyed it! It's quite shocking and emotional, with a few twists that I didn't expect. If this wasn't based on a true story I'd note that some events seemed a little unlikely, but obviously that's not the case and it contributed to the story's beauty.
