I've put it aside, for now, at about 51-52% because the heroine is kind of EXHAUSTING. She's in love with her best friend's big brother - one of them, there are a few - who also happens to be her big brother's best friend. Long story short, he's considered too old for her but when he leaves to join the Army, he shows that he has feelings for her.He comes back, changed. Of course. It's war, it's bloody, it's traumatizing and scarring, both on the outside and on the inside. Mental scars are the hardest to bear. Here's where the hiccup is. One of them, at least. The heroine is pretty selfish. She's all about me, me, me, when everyone around her tells her Jake is changed and she should know that too, since he stops communicating with her while away, in a war zone. Does she listen? Not really. She's still me, me, me. Oh and how she constantly thinks of Jake and mentions it in every situation is eye-rolling.Moving on. The constant multiple question marks [????] to emphasize how incredulous something is or things written in caps, this time to emphasize shouting made me arch my brows then roll my eyes.As I said, I put it aside, maybe I'll finish, maybe I won't. The blurb sounded good, I love Army men but this one didn't do it for me.
