I appreciated learning about the history of Black women in the Women's Army Corps (WAC).  The story was written more in the style of a young adult book, even though it was about adult women.

Loved the story and the characters. I had some issues with the pacing and presentation in parts. I enjoyed the build up most, Grace and Eliza’s enlisting stories and the early days of training camp, but by the end it felt hurried trying to tie everything up. Nonetheless, a good and unique addition to the WWII genre.
