Wartime Brides and Wedding Cakes by Amy Miller
3.0
This was a fun, cute story about wartime women, but I found the plot struggled a little towards the end since everyone's plots had been neatly wrapped up well before the end and the story started going through the motions of showing all the events that were left over.
Tension was introduced and swept under the rug just as quickly, with any issues between characters being fixed barely a chapter after they were told to the reader. I understand that helps keep the tone of the book light and easy to read (and it was a very easy listen on the audio book) but it doesn't exactly make for an interesting read. It's a good thing that the character are so lovely, since there's nothing else to keep readers interested. The cast of women were delightful even when the narrative wasn't going anywhere, and it was easy to feel empathy for their situations.
