An untold story
This book has important information and is well researched. I feel it was a little choppy in jumping to different women; a flow was missing. It needs more detailed escapades to create tension and excitement. It reads more as a thesis than a story. It is important to tell their story; having read Lilac Girls, Atomic Girls, Hidden Figures, etc. I am so glad the women's accomplishments are being recorded so our children and grandchildren will know how brave and involved our ancestors were in these battles and discoveries.

D Day Girls
It seems that lately there are more books about women who took part in WWII. I would say that this book was more a history of the war rather than the story of the heroic women who took part in D Day. I never felt that I got to know these women in any way. Code Girls (which I recently read) gave the readers a rich background of the girls and you remembered each one from chapter to chapter. I commend the author for the research involved but felt somewhat mislead by the book description. Would not recommend.

D-Day GIrls
Ms. Rose has done a masterful job of research, and her book reflects her work. However, for me, it was hard to decipher what I was reading - - -was it a research thesis, or a research thesis with a bit of historical fiction woven through, or ??? Though the title would indicate the book would be primarily about the D-Day Girls, I never felt I really got to know them, as the main characters often felt peripheral to the story. I am sure others might read this and feel differently, but I could not become lost in the story as I hoped from the initial descriptions of the book.
