Two authors collaborate a story about PTSD, a subject that isn’t really talked about. War Hope is a beautiful story about friendship and love.  It’s also about two people who have been effected by this horrible illness in their lives  and how moving forward, trying to overcome boundaries, and live a normal life isn’t always easy.  I can’t tell you how much this story has made me laugh.  The character’s antics are hilarious and well-played. There is always light in the darkness and we just need to have someone show us the way. War Poppy is the first installment, which was a bit darker and War Hope allows us to be put back together.  They both can be read as standalones  but you should read them back to back if you can.  We met Finley in War Poppy, briefly, so we get more of him this time around. He likes to be left alone, but there are times he can be hot headed. Hope is an outspoken foul-mouthed ginger.  You never know what’s coming out of her mouth, but she is also loyal. She gets right under Finley’s skin quickly. They’re both damaged and trying to let their pasts go.  But when your past keeps staring you in the face, can you move on? These two characters become so much more to each other. This story felt so real. It was so well written.  The character development was on point. I never lost interest at all. It’s a great read and it’s the type of book that will leave you smiling and rooting for these characters!
