Ratings and reviews

This book really touched my heart. Some parts made me want to cry, some made me so happy, and some I didn`t know what I was feeling. This is definetly my favorite book, filled with romance, mystery, and best of all Family and Friendships. this was one of those books where you read it and you dont want it to be be over. Phoebe Stone did a great job writing this book. I never knew i would love a book so much. Thank You.

Omg, this book made me so into this authornit one thing at the end its to soon u read the book then the end comes it need more to it like if she's going home or not if her mom would get back together with flissys real dad come on Gove us more.

I am the kind who isn't about to read the newest best known book in America. I came across this book and loved it. Its a moving tale about WWII and the situations that went on during that time. I recommend reading this. You will never read a better story in your life. The sequel is called Romeo Blue.
