I've been dreading finishing this book because of how much I've fell in love with it. Was amazing from beginning to end, with little to no dull moments. I fell in love with each character, both good and bad especially the main character, Frankie. I felt, in my limited military experience, this book was impressively historically accurate and it's clear the author took her time on this. This book made me dive so much deeper into Vietnam War history in my spare time, than I ever had. Such an appreciation for this book, and the women that served.
