Last 50 pages or so I find myself struggling even more. I will see it through since I've made it so far, however it is a big disappointment to me. For a book that wants to focus on Women in Vietnam War and its aftermath I expected a lot more. Definitely a strong female model protagonist (not even close) along with other strong women (non existent). A letdown really.

I’m about halfway through, and it still hasn’t hooked me. I find the characters underdeveloped and the plot rather shallow, and feels far too predictable. Most importantly, I don’t feel compelled to pick the book up—I struggle to keep reading and don’t find myself thinking about it between sessions, which is usually the case with books I truly enjoy.

Almost one fifth of the book read, so far I find the main character weak, unrelatable and the story so far seems superficial and shallow, especially taking into consideration the setting of Vietnam War. Hope it gets better and lives up to the hype.
