The Girls in Queens by Christine Kandic Torres

3.0

This was a good book. The first 3/4 were slow for me and had too much baseball information, but for people into it, I think they'll really like it. And although I grew up in Brooklyn, a lot of it resonated with me (and I also live in Queens now). The last quarter of the book was great - it was a 4 star for me, but it felt like there were moments of "not all men" and making the army out to be this great place, which felt weird especially because one of the core concentrations of the book was sexual assault against women and all of the armed forces are rife with it.
