Continuing on with the story of Emmy Lake was a lot of fun! She’s as precocious as ever, and fighting for her friends and for what is right. I love books that teach me things along the way, and this one taught me about the plight of the women factory workers during WWII. Overall very fun and informative read!

A delightful follow up to Dear Mrs. Bird, Yours Cheerfully provides a look at what it might have been like for women juggling work and family (often on their own) during World War II. I loved getting to know the familiar faces from Dear Mrs. Bird even better in this follow up (crossing my fingers for a third book). AJ Pearce has a knack for creating lovable characters you can't help but cheer for! While the story is set against the backdrop of war, some wonderfully humorous moments are sprinkled throughout. Really enjoyed this read - a huge thank you to NetGalley for the digital ARC!

I’m in love with Emmy Lake and her story. It’s such a wonderful representation of all the work women did during the WWII era that I feel deserves to come to the forefront of history.

I think Iiked this one more than book 3, but for different reasons. Book 2 is a grittier side of everyday life in England during the war. It highlights the sexism women faced as they took on work at factories for the war effort. There’s so much misunderstanding of working women and their lives as mothers, even now, and this novel truly highlights that. 

I cannot wait for book 4.

A delightful return to the world of Dear Mrs. Bird! I liked it a tad less than the original - there was less plot tension, and we already knew the characters - but still a charming and enjoyable read. There is just enough set up at the end that I think there could easily be a third book, and I'd be happy to continue to follow Emmy on her good-hearted adventures.
