I enjoyed this look at military life from a spouse’s point of view. The writing is concise and readable and I enjoyed Gorrindo’s narration. I would recommend this memoir, especially if you’re interested in military life.

challenging emotional reflective tense fast-paced

A powerful memoir of the network, support, and chosen family between women that also shows a woman coming into her own while being there to support her husband. Beautifully written

Parts were interesting, but it felt too chronological without much depth or analysis.

definitely a life i hadn't thought much about and i am glad to have more perspective. i feel like at the end the story just trailed off, no real ending as she is still one of the wives.
