I had high expectations for this book, so many people seem to enjoy it and I really thought it was going to be a great look at life and love during the American Civil War. Im sad to say I was sorely disappointed and I wish this book had been at least a hundred pages shorter. I found myself skipping so many parts, either because they were repetitive or irrelevant to anything that furthered the plot. Such a disappointment!

Possibly the hardest thing for me was that I felt like Andrea was excessively difficult to like, which breaks my heart because to me, theres nothing worse than a main character that I dislike. Before we know her true identity, she was an interesting character that I thought would make for an interesting story. Once we find out the truth, and get into the real meat of the novel, she was so irritating and I spent most of the novel wanting to smack her.
