The Women by Kristin Hannah
5.0
emotional inspiring sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Historical fiction is not one I turn to. I can count on my single hand how many historical fiction books I've read and the ones I have read have been fine. This one has changed my perspective on them. This was so incredibly well written, I'm so glad to have gotten out of my comfort zone to read this one. My heart was doing flips and breaking over and over but also just having so much pride for Frankie. I would consider reading another Kristen Hannah book as I really enjoyed this one surprisingly!
