I enjoyed this book, but not as much as I thought I would.  It is a good story and deals with some really serious issues.  I really felt for Alicia and the difficulties she faced moving on with her life without her husband Ty with her.  It made me think about all of the real people out there who have lost someone important to them because of the war.  It really was heartbreaking.  Michelle Garren Flye does a great job of expressing Alicia's pain and frustration throughout the book.Being a book lover I also enjoyed the fact that Alicia was opening a book store and there were a few parts about collectible books that I enjoyed.  I also liked Liam's use of physics to perform tricks to entertain people, it was a fun addition to the book.The main problem I had with the story was the relationship between Alicia and Liam.  They were both likable characters, but for some reason I just didn't feel like they were a very fun couple to read about.  I understand that they both felt guilt over Alicia's dead husband but I got really tired of them coming together and then stopping and saying they shouldn't be together.  They went back and forth so many times that I was getting frustrated with there love story.I am sure that other people would enjoy the relationship between Alicia and Liam more than I did.  For whatever reason they just didn't seem like a good couple to me.  Still, it is a good book that deals with family, the pain of losing someone, and the need for second chances.  Even though I was not thrilled with the romance in the book, it is still a worthwhile read.
