In 2020, I decided to systematically revisit my older review posts and update them. On Thursdays, I’ll be re-sharing a few of these great reads. Today, I’m re-sharing a creatively structured WW1 Historical Fiction story, Lovely War by Julie Berry.
I’m linking up today with Davida @ The Chocolate Lady’s Book Review Blog for #throwbackthursday.

My Summary:
Is love more powerful than war?
“During the years of WW1, Hazel, a shy and talented pianist meets James, a handsome soldier, at a dance. He’s shipping out to the front in a week. Is this enough time to fall in love?

QOTD:
Have you read Lovely War or is it on your TBR?
I love reading your Throwback Thursday posts!
Thanks Gina! 😍🙌
This has been on my TBR for too long! I am adding it to my February list.
I love your review!
Enjoy! 🙌😍
Why are the Greek goda narrating a WW1 story👀
😂 It’s interesting!!
I haven’t read much on WW1, sounds interesting.
If you love Greek mythology you might love the story within a story!
I always go back and forth about picking this one up. I love Greek mythology but I’m not always crazy about romance….so I keep changing my mind.
It’s not a typical chick lit romance so you might be ok. I think you’d like the mythology!
