A great book for those looking for a quick read that has a fast-paced, historically-accurate (as far as I can tell) depiction of Harvey Girls. Willa is a strong, witty protagonist, and her side kick Dori offers the right amount of levity. The sweet budding romance is done with the skill of a great story-teller. Can’t wait for the next book!
