Couple of copy-editing errors in my copy, but an interesting, detail-filled story! The Signal Corps women's experiences were totally new to me. #historicalfiction

A remarkable and harrowing novel about the Vietnam War. A raw semi-autobiographical account capturing the brutal dehumanizing effects of war. The pacing is intense and chaotic fitting the narrative perfectly. It is quite the novel.

DNFing at 78%. I was hoping I would finally get into the groove and see clearly exactly what the author was trying to say. But this is the most horrifying story of casual cruelty and graphic violence (for both humans and animals) I have ever read, and I‘m not interested in continuing. Plot is minimal. Zero sympathetic characters. (I also have zero idea why this ended up on my TBR. 🤷‍♀️.

22 #66 I liked this one a lot. Jennifer Chiaverini is becoming one of my faves!

This story had so much potential! Unfortunately, although clearly meticulously researched I feel the author got too caught up in the details which led to the storyline being somewhat sloggy. I admit to skimming at points as I wanted a story not a textbook read.

3.5/5 rating: This was meticulously researched, no doubt about it, but way more telling than showing. I got bogged down in the details 🫠😵‍💫 I found myself skimming a lot. It also made it difficult for me to keep up and remember what was going on with the 3 main characters. I found myself within 5 pages of a new chapter saying, “Wait, who is this?” I‘d suggest #BorrowNotBuy on this one, I don‘t think it‘s a re-read worthy book
