The Only Woman in the Room by Marie Benedict

medium-paced

2.5

My biggest critique is with the technical pieces of this story. The voice and style felt stiff, dialogue sounded like it was coming from well-rehearsed robots, and interactions between characters were never more than really surface level. Plot points were glossed over, in a way. I understand there were key years and key events the author was trying to cover, but the way it's done here made me feel like I was just quickly dipping into a moment and then quickly leaving.

Someone who enjoys historical fiction featuring a strong female lead would probably enjoy this and may find it refreshing that it's WWII era with the woman doing something other than code breaking.
