This was a very emotional book to read but I loved it! I've read some reviews criticizing the author for not fully developing the secondary characters. I do not agree! Yes, there are more books in this series but, in my opinion, this story was just fine as a stand-alone book. I hate books with major cliff-hangers (unless I know this before I begin reading) but this book had none.The characters in this story were very real to me and I felt deeply for the trials they went through. I have no first hand knowledge of military life but this story seemed very realistic to me. I applaud the author for writing about something she has first-hand knowledge of and doing it in an entertaining, albeit emotion wrenching, way.I love books that can make me both laugh and cry and this book managed that in spades.
