I'm not normally one for historical fiction or chick lit but I was quite looking forward to reading this. I wasn't disappointed. Of course you get what you're given with a romance I suppose but I still very much enjoyed the book. It was such an easy and lovely read. Each romance is pretty cringey but I suppose, cute, and you can completely imagine the times being different in the 40s where that would have been the most incredible thing. I couldn't put the book down once I'd started reading and every time I was about force myself to sleep, a bomb would drop and I'd find myself holding on until I made sure everyone was ok. Really makes you think what it would be like living in those times. Especially with the racial opinions too. Crazy to think how much the world has (or hasn't) changed. April is such a relatable character - I could definitely see myself in her. Bess, however, was annoying! Of course she I supposed to be and it was great to find myself laughing out loud when she got things handed to her when she deserved it. I love it when you can get that invested in a book.
