No matter what was thrown at her, no matter what the Corporals put her through and what was said to her, she never gave up - she never gave up for both herself and her pride but also for the people around her and the women who are to come after her in the DMA. I think that is what I love about her the most. Sam takes strong female characters to new heights! She's a sassy, takes no nonsense kinda girl who would carry on through the pain just to spite the people who are telling her that she can't do it like the men do it. It wasn't even that wishy washy kind of love that has you rolling your eyes at the cliche of it - it had my heart going and everything. If anything, this book is more about the military training and what Sam has to go through as a woman - a McKenna woman - with a side of love to go. It almost makes it sound like a love story with a weird military twist on the side. I don't think that the cover or the premises of this book actually do the book justice at all. However, I did add this book to my TBR (despite the cover) because of the review that I read - and thank god that I did! I absolutely loved every second of this book. I think, if I saw it kicking around on Goodreads or in a book shop, without having read the review I read about it first, it wouldn't be the sort of book I would go for. This isn't normally the sort of book that I would pick up based purely on the cover.
