5,000⭐️! The Women is one of the best books I’ve ever read. I don’t think any book will top this in 2025, and it’s only the beginning of January. I hate books about war, but I LOVE books about women. This was expertly executed and brought awareness to all the women who served in the Vietnam War. This book is going to stay with me long after finishing. I am feeling all the feels - sadness, grief, anger… This was probably not a good book to read while being seven months pregnant, but it was a remarkable story. Give this a listen on audio because it’s narrated by Julia Whelan!
