With a storyline like this I expected to be more emotionally involved in Zach and David's story, but I found it quite hard in that respect.

I felt sorry for Zach for his ordeal and for David over the guilt he felt. I also felt sorry for the possible romance they missed out on with Zach's disappearance.

That being said I didn't really connect with them or the story.

I did like the interaction between the two guys; some of the things they said to each other in their more tender moments were really sweet.

I'd definitely consider reading more books by the author.

The characters feel real, like people you would pass in the street. (0 more)

'Tender and tragic, set against the turbulent backdrop of wartime Britain'
This is my absolute favourite book, so I'm likely to be biased. The characters feel like real people, and their experiences and thoughts feel as palpable as your own. Let this book sweep you through love and heartbreak, enveloped by war-torn 40s London. The unusual plot layout of this book (moving backwards through time, starting at the end and finishing at the start) may be confusing at the first read, but provides dramatic irony which is integral to the book's brilliance.

By now you will be quite familiar with Aspen Leger. The man who first broke America's heart and the main reason she signed up for the selection in the first place. But who is the man behind the sweet words and tender kisses? The man who thought he had nothing to offer.

"We know you're strong, but accepting help is its own kind of strength."
- Happily Ever After (The Guard) - page 244

There are several scenes that overlap from The Elite in this novella. It was enlightening to see these scenes unfold through Aspen's perspective. Very helpful overall to learn more about his character. It is perfect to read AFTER The Elite.
