This is a fascinating book about black women GIs in World War II. It’s hard to tell how much is historical and how much is fiction but it definitely is heavy on the fiction. It definitely has love stories and other pieces to make it a little more exciting but the history is what was really interesting to me about this book. I actually wish there was a little more history. I’m looking forward to the Netflix series that’s coming out later about it. I love that this history is coming out and being shared and it’s fascinating to see what Black women were doing at that time and to really feel how brave it was

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.
