Beyond the Point by Claire Gibson
4.0
I had heard a lot about Beyond The Point and when I saw a group of ladies on Instagram were going to read it together and discuss it, I decided to join in. I did not realize how long this book was before I joined their group! It wasn’t a slow read, but I did spread it out across the month so that I was at the right point in the book to participate in the discussion about it.
I actually thought this book was more about 9/11, but instead it was merely something that happened while the women in this book were at West Point. The book starts by explaining how each of them ended up wanting to join the Army and moves on to their years at West Point. Then it continues with the time after school in which they get jobs and go through their lives as West Point graduates. The three women are quite different from one another but their friendship grows from their shared experiences. The book covers a lot of ground and seems to provide a realistic portrayal of what it is like to be a woman in the military.
