5⭐
In a sea of mediocrity, this book was a stand-out for me. Did you know it was a woman code breaker who, in 1945, became the first American to learn that World War II had officially ended?

This fictional story highlights how these ladies helped to win WWII. As a bonus, there‘s also a possible serial killer to catch and a sweetly romantic, sapphic love story.
