Synopsis (from the book)
Duty, honor, country. Every cadet who passes through West Point's stone gates vows to live by these words. On the eve of 9/11, as Dani. Hannah, and Avery face the years ahead, they realize they'll only survive if they do it together.
With athletic talent and a brilliant mind, Dani navigates West Point's predominantly male environment with wit and confidence, breaking racial stereotypes and embracing new friends.
Hannah lets faith and family honor guide her. When she meets her soul make at West Point, the future looks perfect, just as planned.
Wild child Avery doesn't mind breaking few rules (and hearts) along the way. But she can't outpace her self-doubt, and the harder she tries, the further it leads her down a treacherous path
After graduation, the world - of business, of love, and of war - awaits. Dani, Hannah, and Avery beyond the gates of West Point. But as they're pulled in different directions, will their hard-forged bond prevail or shatter?
Thoughts Before Reading
I received this in one of my Book of the Month subscriptions a few months ago and I was so excited to get it. Even though I was so excited to get this book I kept pushing it off and never picked it up. I'll admit I was a little bit intimidated, this book is a CHUNKER! Plus I didn't want to pick this book up and be disappointed with it. It sounds like it is going to be a 5-star book for me and it's been awhile since I've read one of those. I've read the first three chapters already, so I'm doing this a bit different than usual. I can already tell it is going to be different POV between the three girls and I can't wait to see how each of the stories go. I also feel like my heart is going to get ripped out, because of how that prequel went. I definitely got some Nicholas Spark vibes and let me tell you his books are a hit and a miss for me, but the ones I love leave me ugly crying. So let's get this going!
