This was a great book. It was a slow burn at first but picked up speed as the book progressed. It is a historical fiction and a romance (nothing very spicy) with a bit of mystery thrown in. It follows the events after Pearl Harbor & the women who took over running the radar system around Hawaii once the men who had been trained to run the new technology were needed on the frontline.
