There is more swearing than I generally prefer and more sexual content due to the themes of the book.

It was okay. I had high expectations due to the book recommendations I got from others, but I find the authors later books more engaging.

It was interesting to learn about women spies during WWl and how they had to navigate gender expectations in their profession.

The author's portrayal of Charlie being a math girly was annoying and badly executed (the math Charlie was doing was like "‹ spoiler>Finn plus Charlie equals LOVE" and showed no real math ability/understanding). I also think the book could’ve been shorter.

I’d recommend The Briar Club by Kate Quinn instead of this one.
