Thank you to the author for the gifted audiobook.  

This was an interesting historical read. The story takes us back to the late WWII era, following a group of young women on a bond tour. They form a strong bond in a male-dominated world and the main character, Thelma, undergoes a transformation into a confident woman who takes on a mob boss, the mafia, and the FBI.

The narrative unfolds from different perspectives, delving into the inner lives, struggles, and motives of the characters. Organized crime, Hollywood glamour, and the societal views of women in that era are intricately woven into the story.

The narrator did an exceptional job in bringing the characters to life and immersing us in the 1940s. 

It was captivating, and the ending sets the stage for the sequel, "The Vegas Girls," which is set to be published on January 1, 2025. 

If you love historical fiction with strong female characters and a gripping plot, this book is a must-read.
