If you love stories about war or re-imagined history - this might be the book for you. Between the covers of this book you will find the story of three women fighting during WWII after it has been legalized for women to join the military (that is the re-imagined part). You will meet: Rio who joins up after her sister is killed in the Navy and after telling a boy that she is enlisting, Rainy who is an intelligence officer with little action until there is no other choice, Frangie - a black medic.
So much of this story is true - the experiences of soldiers in WWII - even the experiences of soldiers today. (Want to know what bootcamp is like? Here you will find out.) The fact that these soldiers are women is outside the realm of fact - but the prejudice and treatment they get are real - and still real in 2021. The treatment of black soldiers in WWII also rings of truth.
