Thank you Forever and NetGalley for the eARC of Lady Codebreaker! All opinions in this review are my own.

Since I had just read another historical fiction book about Elizebeth Smith Friedman and enjoyed it, I felt like Lady Codebreaker had a lot to live up to. Luckily, there are enough differences between the two that Lady Codebreaker felt like its own story. In addition to changing Elizebeth's name to Grace, Alden covers a larger scope and shows the struggles that she faces to get to where she was. I like that Lady Codebreaker spans 40 years of Grace's life but at times I felt like it was at the expense of details. Overall, if you are looking for a historical fiction book about the role of women codebreakers in the early 20th century, Lady Codebreaker is a great start!
