What is the theme of “Purple Hearts”?
Based on Tess Wakefield’s book of the same name, Purple Hearts delves into the story of an aspiring singer-songwriter and Marine Corps soldier. They agree to marry each other to reap benefits, not for love.
Cassie was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes six months ago, which has made it even more difficult for her financially because she lives in a small, disjointed apartment. She’s only the waiter, she teaches piano lessons to the homeowner’s daughter, and occasionally plays gigs at a local bar.
Likewise, Luke is in a difficult position. While running to clear his mind, he meets an old friend, Juno. Locke demands payment of the $15,000 he owes, adding to the tension.
Over the weeks and months, Cassie and Luke were forced to stay together longer than they had initially planned. He moves in with her after returning from fighting abroad. Then the duo have to make their fake marriage look convincing.
In the face of complications and work between disagreements, feelings begin to arise between the two. They stick to the vows they made, such as looking after each other during illness and health.
