My Review:
Until We Meet Again is a highly emotional, captivating story of love and loss set in ww1.
Firstly I loved the main character Amy who comes across as a brave woman who fights for what she believes in. It was so interesting to read about her work for the suffragettes and her time as a VAD nurse in France. I thought she showed great courage in her work there even though conditions were horrendous. Some of the things she had to witness brought a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye as I read. The war scenes were vividly described and allows the reader to picture the scenes in their mind. I felt at times like I was actually there watching everything unfold which made me feel more involved in the story.
The historical detail in this book was brilliant and I felt helped capture the attitudes of the time. It’s hard to believe how things like class mattered back then, but they did and caused no end of heart ache I’m sure. Class is one of the obstacles standing in the way of Any and Edmund and I wanted to keep reading to find out if they would have the happy ending I felt they deserved. The scenes between them at the beginning were very tender ones showing how much the pair cared about each other, which made the war scenes even more emotional when contrasted against them.
This is the author’s debut novel and I’m very excited to read more from her in the future. Huge thanks to Rachel from Rachel’s Random resources for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book.

Sounds pretty good, but I’m not overly thrilled with the cover art. But that’s neither here nor there!
