Monumentally disappointing...
Grace is late for work one day and ends up having to walk through Grand Central Station. On her walkthrough she finds a briefcase and when she opens that she finds pictures of other women in uniform. She decides to take these pictures with her and embark on a journey to find who these women were/are. I can't help but wonder why this book has so many 5-star shining reviews. I'm a little curious to know if we are reading the same book here. Okay so let's talk... The Grace character in the story I found to be completely pointless. There was really no reason for her storyline whatsoever other than finding the briefcase. But then again the author just could have decided to write about Marie and Eleanor without Grace. Marie is so stupid for lack of a better way to put it. She is completely and without a doubt the worst person that Eleanor could have chosen for the job. Then when Julian hits the stage, she becomes even stupider. And one thing that I had a problem with Julian, he's the leader of a French rebel group and does not speak a lick of French.... W.T.F? But back to Marie, she is willing to give up King & country for Julian and makes the stupidest decisions that just about anybody I've read in a book makes. I was really hoping for a book that had 3 heroines. A book about their courage throughout the war but instead I got stupidity and a romance that seem to have been thrown in for no reason whatsoever because it doesn't make any sense in the story. I guess this book was a good idea to start with but the execution of it just completely fell flat. The writing wasn't even that great. I found it choppy and sloppy with lots of holes in the middle. Unpopular opinion but I personally cannot recommend this book. I know others have loved it dearly it seems but this is not a book that I would recommend to others.
