Yours Cheerfully is a hopeful read featuring themes of courage and friendship and it felt like I was getting back to reading about characters I knew and I was very much looking forward to reading more about Emmy and Bunty in this next book and their other friends too.
This book can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading Dear Mrs. Bird because you will know the characters better and there is definitely events from the first book that has set up the story for this novel. Both books are heartwarming, charming, and comforting reads in their own way.
Yours Cheerfully sees Emmy moving forward in her journalism career and women supporting women, the involvement of women during war times and participation in the war effort in London, England in the 1940's and fighting for equal wages and working conditions. There is also a continuing wartime romance between Emmy and Charles.
I recommend Yours Cheerfully for readers who enjoy heartwarming World War II historical fiction with a bit of romance who also enjoy brave, independent, strong female protagonists.
I am definitely looking forward to reading Mrs. Porter Calling which is the next book in the Emmy Lake Chronicles.
