The first half is in Vietnam and I found it to be predictable and disappointing.  However, the second half is after Vietnam and this is where the book really shines.

This story was fascinating.  I learned information about the Vietnam war and the women who served that I did not know.

I'm...l'm...speechless. What an incredible novel. Kristin Hannah is a word smith like no other. She has a way of bringing you into the story and taking you captive with every word written. I'm going to be processing this book for weeks to come. Wow. Wow. Wow. So so good!
