This was a cute timepiece. I enjoyed it although at times I thought it could have used a little more of something to hold my interest. I definitely enjoyed the relationship between the two main characters. I fluctuated between 3.5 and 4.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an early release in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I was so interested in this novel. I knew about the Harvey Girls, but never realized it was an such a good opportunity for women in the 1920s. The deepening friendship and set in the historical context made this informative too. Absolutely will recommend

Such an informative, interesting, and intriguing story! I was transported to the times of the Harvey Girls and so enjoyed the characters, esp Billie and Charlotte. Their deepening friendship is a lesson to all - understanding our differences and accepting them makes our world a much better place. Learning more about the Native Americans and their treatment is an important addition to the novel. The author combined mystery, friendship, and real life scenarios to deliver this excellent book.

I really enjoyed The Harvey Girls.
I liked reading about the history of this group of ladies. Other books that I have read did not
go into quite as much historical detail. Thank you for doing that.
The characters were likable and I cared what happened to them.
And yes, I did cry at the end.
I am looking forward to reading more books by this author.

Story about two young women in the 1920s who become unlikely friends. Charlotte is running from her abusive husband, while Billie lies about her age in order to get a job to support her family. I had heard of the Harvey Girls before, but this was an interesting look at both the constrains and opportunities the job offered for women at the time.
