The Long March Home by Marcus Brotherton and Tosca Lee

 


Three best friends enlist together. While fighting horrors in World War II we get flashbacks of their life growing up together in Alabama along with their love for one girl. 

All the feels while reading this book! I laughed, I cried, I felt anger and exultation. I honestly didn't know if I would like this story because I thought it would be more male oriented. But it had enough love story to it along with all the grit and terror and awfulness of war. I loved the friendship between Jimmy, Hank and Billy. The loyalty they had for each other and desire to protect each other throughout was heart-warming and special. The war scenes were difficult to stomach, but I believe the research was accurate and educational. A fantastic story that will stay with me for quite sometime.
