No Fate But What You Make. Wait. What? You're a freaking moron, Sexton. There is no possible way that a historical fiction/ women's fiction mashup tale set in 2019 and the Vietnam War period and barely featuring any male characters whatsoever can possibly have anything to do with John Connor's war against Skynet. It. Can't. Possibly. Be. Linked.

And yet... yes, it can. Because ultimately we see here that there truly is no fate but what you make, as three friends meet in a podunk Kansas nursing school and go on to live lives that become inextricably linked to one another - but which forces each woman to make her own destiny, society and family be danged.

Along the way, we're going to cry several times at least as hard as when the T-800 sacrifices itself into the molten steel. We're even going to beg some characters to make different choices, same as John was doing there.

But in the end, we're going to get one amazing tale, one that just might make it difficult to think of other books for quite some time. (Which is difficult to do when you're trying to clean up your ARC work before holiday traveling. ;) )

Ultimately this truly is quite a strong tale and friendship and family. Very much recommended.
