One of my favourite books by Soraya M Lane is Spitfire Girls because it shows a different aspect of the war that I previously had no knowledge of and this book is exactly the same. I didnt know about dispatch riders during the war, let alone female ones so I found it really interesting to read about. I also loved the friendship between Ava, Olivia and Florence although I found Ava difficult to like at first.
I loved the author's note at the end explaining how the author balanced fact and fiction.
Another absolutely brilliant book by a brilliant author.

“The London Girls” is a WWII historical fiction book by Soraya Lane. I’ve read a number of Ms. Lane’s previous books, so I’m familiar with both her style of writing and the usual fashion her books take (three women meet, become friends, there’s some romance, some crisis, and then a nice happy ending). In this book, we meet three women who decide to become motorcycle couriers for the UK military. There is some romance … there is some drama … and there is a crisis (or two or three). But, as Ms. Lane stated in her Author’s Notes, there was a, for me, nice change to her usual storyline. My hat’s off to you for that. If you want to read a book about the motorcycle courier WWII service - from why it started to the dangers faced as being part of this vital service, this book may be up your alley. An enjoyable WWII historical fiction book about some under-praised women doing their war effort.

Firstly I want to say a big thank you for the opportunity to read "The London Girls" by Soraya M.Lane before the release date.
This is a story of three brave women who decide to take on a challenge which could cost their lives. Three friends sign up to be dispatch riders from WRNS, one ending up as an ambulance driver and two riding on a motorcycle.
The story of grit, courage, love and determination. I thoroughly enjoyed these beautifully written pages and found myself seeing the most thrilling movie unfolding in my mind which kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time! I have no doubt that this story will be on the big screen one day.
This story is based on many true historical events which took place during the WWII and it will leave you speechless and possibly tearful.
Thank you!

Three women…war time..doing their best to help. Historical fiction that reads like nonfiction. This would make a great movie. This book was sent to me electronically by Netgalley for review. The characters come alive on the pages of this novel. It is as if we know them in person and hope the best for them…friendship and family…courage…looking forward..hoping…wishing…new people…the setting is, of course, important to this story because of the history happening. Enjoy this cannot put down novel.

Soraya Lane’s latest historical fiction about women in war does not disappoint. Action-packed accounts based on real WRNS in WWII London keep you wanting to know what comes next but not wanting to end the book. I strongly recommend this book to readers of historical fiction and especially for those who enjoy books based in WWII.

The London Girls by Soraya M. Lane is a wonderful story written about the women in London delivering memos and letters while riding motorcycles. Women were used to deliver memos because the men were serving in war. Women were also used to be ambulance 🚑 drivers. These women performed bravely and heroically in London. These women also sometimes were known as daredevils because they were out there risking their lives.
