The Last Kiss by Sally Malcolm

3.0

3.75 stars. Objectively this was a good book, but it just didn't completely gel with me. It felt a bit unbalanced (very little time was spent on the developing relationship between Ash and Harry during the war, which made it harder to root for them later on in the story), very gloomy (things were looking very pessimistic for such a long time) and relatively low on actual romance. I guess this was just a bit too much realism for a romance novel for me, especially now when things are so unbalanced and unpredictable in real life. I guess I need more escapism at the moment. Olive was a wonderful side character though and I did appreciate the issues raised in the book concerning the changing times and the effects of the war on those involved.
