I liked the book, it was a quick read. But when I finished I felt like I had read it before. It has strong female characters, who learn about themselves and each other. They were not friends as children, who was to blame for that. Can they put the past behind them and come to be friends?

This book is about two African American women who join the Women’s Army Corps in World War II. They are subjected to racism and violence and although they are like oil and water become friends given their common predicament. Since both are from New York City, the segregation and treatment they receive is alarming to them.

Well in depth, lots of details and action, ends on a cliffhanger to start the next book. A very good read.

A wonderful story of 3 young women who became unlikely friends during WWII. It's a long book, over 600 pages that was an easy read. I typically read at night before bed and caught my self many times during the day wondering what Oslo, Man & Beth would be up to tonight when I picked up this wonderful novel

Entitled: How Male Privilege Hurts Women
by Kate Manne

book cover


I was encouraged to read this interesting book by my daughter. Each chapter explores a different way that men get things that they feel entitled to, at a woman's expense. It was very cleverly done and revealed a lot of behaviors that I did not even realize that we take for granted The chapters gave just enough information and links to other articles that you could pursue it in depth as much as you wanted. It is a must read for everyone - especially men!

I loved this book!

Salt to the Sea
by Ruta Sepetys

book cover


I'm a big historical fiction fan, but this book did not hit the mark. I felt it was quite slow at points, but did at least attempt to re-live what actually happened in history. I did not feel strong connections to the characters, which was something I was looking for in this type of book.
