Women of the Post by Joshunda Sanders
3.0
emotional hopeful informative sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

I wanted this to be amazing, and while the context and concept was incredible, the writing was not. While the flow improved in the second half of the book, I never felt a true depth in any of the 3 heroines. Any distinguishing character traits were very circumstantial rather than fully developed. 
This book did, however, peak my interest in learning more about black women who served in the world wars. Again, I loved the concept and the history. I wish I had loved the prose.  
Thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing!
