This book really contains two stories: Ross and Claire plus George's flashback relationship with Jane and his brother, Charles. I was completely caught up with George's story even though Ross/Claire's story had top billing. It was just so heartbreaking filled with regret and lost opportunities.

The story had a lot of humor in the midst of fulfilling George's bucket list. Ross and Claire's story was okay but really nothing that memorable. Oddly enough Ross felt more like a side character because the concentration was on Claire's past and George's reconciliation with his lost family. There was a bit spent on the traumas of military life and possible PTSD treatment but Ross's problems are overshadowed by others quickly and never mentioned again.

The book was enjoyable, had some closure. I came off feeling really bad for Charles though and somehow felt their relationship was tainted by Jane and George. Still worth the read.
