Just okay. Some aspects were good, and I liked the historical aspect. I will still read this author for the entertainment & escapism. The writing is cringey in many spots, with borderline saccharine dialogue. 
I feel like I have whiplash from all the plot points— it’s effective if that is intent based on trying to convey how life-altering the Vietnam war was for the women vets.
