Good book but frustrating narrative for main character Frankie. I appreciated learning more about the contribution of women in Vietnam.
An important but difficult book to read. I’m glad the author has put this out for the world to read. Everyone should read it- young adults, men and women alike. But it is sobering. The hardships and the depth of those hardships makes this book a difficult read.
Well written and pointed out the issues women in that time dealt with. However, the main character seemed to have had all issues happen to her. I found that her mother had more character build than her best friends.
Must read. Even if you don’t like history. Even if you don’t like first women narrative. So so beautifully written. Heart. breaking. I felt growth reading this. Knowing women veterans as well personally who existed at a young age was super insightful to connecting with them on a deeper level that I simply did not even understand before and likely still don’t fully to this day but has me more open to the difference in depth of what they may have endured. It is an absolute must read for any women or man, specifically of enlistment age. The absolute raw storytelling and emotion Kristin Hannah expresses. You’re entwined in her story. Immersed at Francis’s side. Feeling her love and heartbreak and bravery. Absolutely breathtaking
