The Foxhole Victory Tour

This was my first time reading one of Amy Lynn Green's books and I was totally sold on trying anything she writes by the third chapter. I love how scrupulously historically accurate this is, splashing me straight into the 1940s and keeping me there the whole time. Even the dialogue catches the correct flavor of the times and feels delightfully authentic, just as though the book itself was written in that time frame.

Maggie and Catherine are very different heroines and both have distinct character growth arcs. As the whole USO group is pitted against itself for a career prize, they have to sort out just how far they are willing to go to gain that prize.

It was great to have a book that was more focused on the two ladies than on a single aim of romance. One does have a likely suitor and the other an unlikely, but that's kept mostly to the side of the main goal of them growing and maturing as women.

Recommended for all ages and especially for history lovers. Content: war; description of a pinup figure on a plane nose
