The Atomic City Girls by Janet Beard
2.0

2.5*
This was a slog. It was such an interesting topic but nothing happened in the book. There was no plot whatsoever, other than a series of characters, mostly unconnected, who worked at Oak Ridge. The characters were flat, and honestly a book just about June and her work would have been interesting, but the author chose instead to focus on four characters, and the most boring aspects of their lives. I don’t even know if I could give a summary of this book because there was so little plot...
