My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Greetings from Asbury Park by Luigina Vecchione is a heart capturing story about war, the strength of family and still having the room to love deeply after witnessing so much devastation. I was absolutely captivated by this story from beginning to end! I loved Mariella, her family, Jack. The author put a lot of heart into telling this story and it shines through radiantly. Splendid writing and detail. The characters were all very realistic with personalities and interactions to match the setting.

Highly recommend to any lovers of historical fiction who enjoy a story that is so perfectly descriptive that you are experiencing and feeling everything with the characters- from their fears to sharing their beautiful heartfelt moments. Very well done! I’m very excited to start the next book.

This story made me get lost in the past. It is such a gentle but not gentle reminder of what it was like during WW2. It has love, anger, hurt, fight or flight response, and tragedy. It is well written and very descriptive so you can picture everything that is going on in the book in your head like watching a movie. I was completely caught up in what was going to happen next that I kept turning the pages. It is a gripping retelling of young love that happens at the worst time. Then they keep in touch, it is heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. Their love is so pure and you feel that as you continue through the book. I had tears and I had hope. This book is just amazing and I can’t wait to read the second book in this series. I feel like we are only scratching the surface as to what is to come with the main characters. It is a journey I didn’t know I needed but I am not invested in.
