Beyond the Point by Claire Gibson

4.0

I didn't know much about West Point or women in the military going into this novel, so I found the subject interesting. A good thing, since this book is almost 500 pages long. Even though at times, it felt long, it never got dull enough that I wanted to put it down. The characters are sympathetic and admirable, although I didn't feel all that connected to any of them. Their various stories, though, were intriguing enough to keep me reading. I also appreciated the story's themes of friendship, family, and faith (although the religious parts often felt preachy rather than organic). All in all, then, I liked this one but didn't love it.
