Yours Cheerfully by AJ Pearce

4.0

I thought the follow up to Dear Mrs. Bird was utterly charming and sweet. It’s not often you find WWII historical fiction that is done in more of a lighthearted manner. I enjoyed see Emmy as she works to establish herself as a reporter and determine what stories she wants to focus on. The focus on the women workers during WWII was a great addition to the plot, introducing fun new characters and bringing attention to the struggles of war widows and working moms. While the book is a lighter tone, it still captures the hardships of war such as rationing, death of loved one, discrimination/sexism, etc. It is really well written and an easy, quick read. I had listened to Dear Mrs. Bird on audio, so it did take me a bit to adjust to overuse of capitalization to highlight points (In It Together, ), but that is just a personal reading preference and others might enjoy it. I loved the way the book ended, bringing the storylines to a conclusion while leaving me at a point of wanting more and ready to see what book 3 of the Emmy Lake Chronicles will bring! 4/5⭐️
