The Post Office Girls Book 2
1915. After the recent dramatic events at the Post Office's Home Depot, Milly Woods is looking forward to spending as much time as possible with her best friends Beth and Nora. With Christmas fast approaching, their job of getting millions of letters and parcels to the troops on the frontline is more important than ever.

Feeling more lonely, Milly finds company and common ground at her local suffragette group - as well as catching the eye of a wounded ex-soldier at the Home Depot.
In this book, we focus on Milly Woods who is now working at the Home Depot. She meets new friends Hilda and Elsie who are members of the East London Federation of the Suffragettes. Milly's family worry that she will be led astray. The women are all strong and likeable characters. The pace is steady in this well written book. I hope there's more books to come.

A Post Office Christmas is the second book in The Post Office Girls series and picks up more or less where the other one left off. It is a lovely, uplifting family saga based in World War l and the perfect follow on book. A quick, compelling read which is a real page-turner and with a gentle storyline you can’t help but become completely immersed in. We catch up on the three friends Milly, Nora and Liza, whose firm friendship has a little hiccup, but soon gets back on track. The focus is mainly on Milly who is a wonderful feisty character as well as being extremely outspoken and fiercely independent and we learn so much more about her. She forms a new friendship with Hilda and Elsie and becomes entangled with quite a radical suffragette group. Milly’s relationship with Jack Archer, is adorable. The romance is kept to a minimum however it’s a lovely part of the storyline and runs alongside the activities at the Home Depot.
The series continues to be informative and well researched. Interestingly we learn more about the postal service, day to day life in this era and the struggles and pitfalls encountered. The costumes and hairstyles are beautifully described. Milly has her hair cut into a bob and the shock wave this created was hilarious and extremely eye-opening, deemed by most at the time to be ‘far too masculine’. It’s certainly a very fascinating period of time, romantic but also very tough and with the strong female characters in the book it makes for a very engrossing read.
A Post Office Christmas is a lovely warm hug of a book, its an exceptionally quick read, but it’s well written and informative and the perfect choice for a really good Christmas read. Drama, romance and friendships are all there in this heartwarming read. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the post office girls and I look forward to the next book.
Thank you so much to Hodder & Stoughton for the gifted proof.

A Post Office Christmas by Poppy Cooper is an excellent WWI-era historical fiction saga that is the second book in the wonderful Post Office Girls series.
This is such a wonderful series, and the sequel is even better than its predecessor. I loved returning to the Home Depot Military Post Office. This book starts immediately where the previous ended, however one does not need to read the first book to enjoy this one, but still recommended…because it is enjoyable!
I enjoyed visiting 1915, and an era that is not delved into as much as other wartime periods. Learning more about the postal services during this time was fascinating. I never knew how intricate the jobs and duties were to be able to get the soldiers and their families their packages and mail.
I also enjoyed the characters of Milly, Nora, and Elizabeth. Their friendships and dynamics, along with the full character cast, were heartwarming, realistic, and they are strong female characters. This book focussed on Milly Woods, while the previous focussed on Elizabeth (Liz). I liked how there were citizens from every area/walk of life that come together to do their part for King and Country.
I liked the plot, the obstacles, and the eventual satisfying ending.
I highly recommend this series to any historical fiction and historical saga fan. I hope the books continue onwards and look forward to the next one.

A Post Office Christmas y Poppy Cooper
1915. After the recent dramatic events at the Post Office's Home Depot, Milly Woods is looking forward to spending as much time as possible with her best friends Liza and Nora. With Christmas fast approaching, their job of getting millions of letters and parcels to the troops on the front line is more important than ever.
I've read her first one in this series and this is a perfect follow on. Having said that , you could read this as a stand alone , although you may miss out a little on the friendship / dynamics a tiny bit.
As ever the author writes perfectly about the era that makes you feel you have a little window to peer though to watch the lives of these wonderful characters. A gentle cosy , love in a hug read.

I really enjoyed this one! It was a cute, festive read that kept me entertained for a few hours. Much like the first book in this series, Cooper reinforces the themes of friendship and hope through the tough times of war. I particularly liked following Milly's character and learning more about her and her family. A lovely book to curl up with on a cold day!
Thank you to the publishers for kindly sending me an ARC to read in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

A lovely follow up book. Set in the WWII era. Millie works in a new department in the Depot and doesn’t get to see her friends so often. She becomes interested in the suffragette meetings. It’s very informative about the movement and the type of people it attracts. Her friendships are tested a little but true friendships rides over problems and draws them closer. A wonderful read with a festive feel.

I enjoyed the first in this series and worried whether I would like this as much but I did enjoy it.
It was lovely to have some of the same characters from the first book and learn more about them and how life has been treating them.
Thank you to Net Galley for my advance copy of this book.

1915. With Christmas approaching, Post Office Girls, Milly, Nora and Liza, are working harder than ever at the Home Depot to get letters and parcels to the troops on the front line.
Milly is transferred to a different department. Was it because of her poor background? Her suffragist leanings put her out of sorts with her posher workmates. She misses her friends, but takes solace at her local suffragette group ELFS, and makes a new friend at work, ex-soldier Jack.
Coming home from a meeting, Milly is accosted by a drunken soldier and saved just in time by fellow suffragettes, Hilda and Elise. The police believe his side of the story.
Milly takes up the cause of a miscarriage of justice.
It makes one’s blood boil to remember how women were treated—the pay differential, being accosted in the street at night, not being listened to by police, having to sit in a separate section of the pub to avoid catcalls, always being the ones in charges of tea and refreshments—not to mention multiple children and the ever-present threat of the workhouse.
All the while, Sylvia Pankhurst has ruled ‘no militant action’ due to the war. But the ELFS ‘girls’ have better ideas, and Milly takes some people into her confidence that she shouldn’t have done.
The royal family’s visit goes off without a hitch, after Milly and Jack save the day. The jolly Christmas tale ends well, and revelries spill out onto Euston Road. Looks like our boys will be getting their parcels, after all.
It’s not often one finds a novel that deals with the working lives of working-class people—the ‘girls’ relationships with their workmates and supervisors, what they actually do in order to sort the post, how they spend their lunchbreaks.
This is Book 2 in the Post Office Girls series.

I absolutely loved the first book in this series, so I leapt at the chance of an ARC copy of book 2. We once again catch up with the 3 friends from book 1, but this time we are focused on Milly. Her life and career seem to be in turmoil as she fights for her family’s health and happiness, whilst trying to hold down a seemingly tenuous post at the Home Depot.
Although we met Milly in the first book, there is plenty more to learn about her and we soon find out what drives her. This book would work as a standalone story, but I highly recommend reading book one, too.
Milly is smart, perhaps a little too smart in the mouth, as she soon finds herself in hot water on more than one occasion. She has a drive to pull herself up from her working-class upbringing. Whilst she’s proud of who she is, and where she comes from, she tends to view herself through her perception of the eyes of others.
With a fiercely independent streak, she is not prepared to be judged by her gender and that leads to an entanglement with a local suffragette group. As she becomes more and more focussed on the inequality of the day, Milly finds herself in a precarious position.
As this story follows Milly, I was a little saddened to see Liza and Nora take a distinctly back seat. I needn’t have worried, because they are involved in the explosive conclusion which cements their friendship once and for all.
The depth of knowledge and volume of research, required to complete this story is considerable. I was impressed by this aspect in book one, but Poppy Cooper goes even deeper into the activities of the Home Depot as well as the suffragette movement. The end result is a fascinating story which had me awake, way past midnight.
Highly recommended!

It's Christmas season in 1915 and Beth, Nora and Milly are back! This time we get Milly's perspective and further insight into her life. Her family dynamic is fascinating (I love Ma) and her circle of friends is loyal. We meet new friends and characters as well and learn about various job duties in the Army Post Office Home Depot in London, different from those in the first book. The mix of the old and new is lovely and fresh and continually pulls me in.
Feisty Milly is transferred to a different department at work and she must adjust to her duties and co-workers. She continues involvement in the suffragette movement and her mis(adventures) teach her how to interact and cope as she suffers from foot-in-mouth disease. But we also see her softer side which endears her to me.
Reading this book was like sharing tea and catching up on gossip with old friends, comfortable and homey. But it has the added benefit of learning more about how post was sorted before it became machinated. These details contribute to creating a realistic and enjoyable read. As in life, the story is not all roses. There are thorns in the way of challenges and heartache. The author has a wonderful way with words and I am intrigued by her personal inspiration. The cover is sweet and the last sentence has me wondering about what is to come! Maybe I'm overthinking it but there is a plethora of possibilities.
Historical Fiction , Women's Fiction and General readers ought to read this heartwarming series.
My sincere thank you to Hodder & Stoughton for the privilege of reading this delightful book. I adored it!

This is a wonderful saga set in the World War 1 era in London. Although it is book 2 of a trilogy it can easily be read as a standalone. Again we step into the world of three friends Milly, Liza and Nora who work in the Post Office sorting department and we are taught much about life at that time and what an important role the P.O. had in getting mail and parcels to the men on the front line. Milly is the lead character in this book and we laugh, cry and grieve along with her as she faces so many ups and downs, not least of all some problems within her friendship with her two best friends. Feeling lonely and rejected she becomes friendly with two new women who have quite an impact on her life and it's not immediately evident whether that is for the good or the bad. I learned a lot about the Suffragette movement which Milly is a part of and some of the dreadful practices that existed at the time whereby women were deprived of money and allowances which led to their families being penniless. through no fault of their own in many cases. The author is to be commended on her extensive research whilst writing this book which was quite an eye opener in many ways. Molly can be headstrong, sometimes naive but always relatable and I loved her character. Also very engaging was the young and injured ex soldier who comes into her life. This is another lovely follow up book to the author's first in this Post Office series and left me eager to read the next one. My thanks to Netgalley for a pre-release copy in exchange for my honest review.

The Post office Christmas by Poppy Cooper is the second novel in the series, and it is an excellent follow up to the previous one.
The Post office girls is about Milly, Nora and Lizzy working at the Home Depot post office in 1915 in Regents Park London. This is centred around Milly who feels isolated when she is transferred from one department to another by her supervisor Miss Parker. She wonders what she has done wrong, she also misses Nora and Lizzy even though their relationship is a bit strained at present.
She meets Hilda and Elsie who are new to the Home depot and also members of the ELFS Suffragettes. Milly has always been feisty and outspoken and now has been given the chance by joining them to help get more rights for women. This opens a new life for Milly and new opportunities for her, but they are not all good ones. Her family worry that she is going to be led astray.
Thanks Hodder and Stoughton for a copy of The Post office Christmas. This is an excellent sequel to the previous book showing not only the lives of the women who worked at the Home Depot but around the time of 1915. But also, the story of Milly and the ups and downs of her life and her fighting for the cause. This is another endearing and realistic story with a great plot and shows that it doesn’t matter where you live or from you have the same opportunities as everyone else. You just have to fight for it. Five stars from me.

Oh I so enjoyed the first book and this second book is so uplifting and enjoyable to read.
I loved the new characters added in and who does not enjoy a Christmas read this time of year.
The Post Office Girl's are Beth, Nora and Milly working at Regent Park London, this book is focus on Milly Woods from Bow East London, who is now working at the home depot and meets new friends Hilda and Elsie who are ELFS Suffragettes and opens a whole new world for Milly.
Her friendship with Jack Archer gets more intense could it turn into a courtship for them both?
as this book unfolds we find Milly going through a lot of ups and downs and challengers along the way. Its one truly magical story as well that readers are going to love until the next time I so hope there is more books to follow in the coming year. 5***** from me.

4.5, rounding up to 5. Another wonderful read by Poppy Cooper. It was great to catch up with The Post Office Girls again. Having this book told from Millie's perspective had me hooked. I loved her. She came so far from the first book. her relationship with Jack brought a smile to my face. A real dramatic book in places and overall, left me wanting more. It's not the most festive book I've read though, not sure if it should be marketed as a Christmas read. I hope there is a follow up book focusing on Nora.
Thanks to Netgalley and Hodder and Stoughton for opportunity to read this Advance Reader's Copy.

I was absolutely thrilled to see that book 2 was out in these series, especially as it’s a Christmas themed one too.
I just love the feel of this series and I’m so quickly thrown back in time as I imagine the setting so easily due to how well this author describes each scene, and even the clothing and the hairstyles of the female characters. I said this about Poppy Cooper’s first book, and I’ll say it again, that this book makes me want to go back in time just so I could hang out with Milly as she’s such a lovely character.
This storyline contains a great mix of what I love in a good story ….drama, happiness, sadness, romance and deep rooted female friendships… for me, it has a little bit of everything just in the right amount.
If you like a bit of light hearted Historical Fiction then I’d definitely recommend this series.

This is my first Christmas book this year and such a great one to start with, the story continues on with Milly working in the Army Home Depot trying like everyone else to get through the War and worrying about the future. I like the inclusion of the suffragette cause and the struggle for equal rights, it adds another dept to the story. I do hope that there will be at least one more book in this series.
December 30, 2021
After enjoying the first Post Office book I looked forward to catching up with Liza, Nora and Milly again. This time the girls have a few bumps in the friendship road as they all are busy awaiting a Royal visit to the depot and also Christmas getting closer. It’s nice to follow how the women coped back home during World War 1 and also how the suffragette movement was going about getting rights for women. This was another great read and I hope it’s not the end of the Post Office girls yet.

I received a free copy via Netgalley in exchange for a honest review.
This is yet again a wonderful story that transports you back in time to WW1.
It gives a great feeling of how life was back during this time and how attitudes were to women.
I felt as though I was actually living in the time with great characters.
I really cannot praise this story more.

This book was a rollercoaster from start to finish, I loved the storyline and felt invested in terms of the characters and their relationships. I find the writing style so easy to follow, the ending was a crazy few chapters but finished the story off perfectly and the epilogue was the perfect end to the story. Really enjoyed both books in this series!

An interesting, happy story! I enjoyed very much the historical period in which the book is written. I found fascinating all the details on life during that devastating period and all the information on the suffragettes.

A great story.
I really enjoyed this second book in the Post office Girls series. This story was about Milly and her friends Liza and Nora.

After reading the first in the series, I was so excited to read another book about these 3 girls. However, where I liked all three in the first book, this book was about Milly and I really disliked both the character and the writing in this book. She truly never made the right choice when it came time to report things. I really hope the next book is better, but I’m no longer looking forward to it.

An interesting war time read based around the war post office.
Lots of political views, feminism and a touch of romance!

Really miserable and disappointing. So pleased I hadn't read it in December.
