A review by bibliotequeish
The Beantown Girls by Jane Healey
2.0
I enjoyed this book. It was a little slow and very predictable, but it was still an enjoyable read.
However because it was slow, it did take me quite some time to get through it.
Fiona, Viv and Dottie, are three friends from Boston who volunteer as Red Cross Clubmobile girls being sent to France and Germany to boost morale among the soldiers. Fiona volunteers in hopes of finding out what happened to her fiance Danny after his plane was shot down in Germany.
This book was interesting when it came to the Clubmobile service, a topic I looked into after I was done the book. But the actual story of these three women, was not as captivating as I thought it would be based on the premise of the book.
A little too predictable, I would have enjoyed the book more if it focused more on the war, the soldiers and their stories, and less on Viv's nails and falling in love.
