Thanks to the Publisher and Netgalley for an early review copy.

I enjoyed reading Courage for the Cabinet Girls.

We read about what the people went through living during WWII, in London.

Katie’s character was relatable, she had some weaknesses as well as strength.

Her romance with Baxter was lovely and the right divergence to all the bad things that were happening around them.

Whilst reading the story you could imagine yourself there witnessing all the horrors of WWII.

I recommend this book.

Woh, this book deserves to be read!
When Katharina (Katie)Valentine’s dearest aunt Judy dies she leaves a gift for her niece, with stipulations on how it’s to be used. Katie just doesn’t realise that this could shape her whole future.
As we follow Katie’s journey from working as a kennel maid to progressing through Secretarial School and then following aunt Judy’s suggestion applying to the war office, it take the reader on a journey following the workings of Winston Churchill and his idiosyncrasies (which I have to say I found fascinating, so much that I plan to watch “Darkest Hour”.
Katie applies herself to studies and makes good grades which shows in the jobs she manages to secure, this doesn’t come without an element of jealousy from some, this could prove threatening for Katie!

I really can’t praise this book enough, it was easy to follow, the characters were believable, some likeable others not so much. My personal favourite was Katie and least favourite was Roz . Now I don’t know if I can wait for the next one. I just wish I could give more than ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A great historical book which was slightly different from the usual war sagas. Very interesting and I enjoyed this one immensely. It made the characters very real. My thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

No one brings historical romance to life like Molly Green, and with Courage for the Cabinet Girls she once again immerses her readers in the lives of people enduring and living through WWII, this time in the heart of London, England.
Green's character Katie is complex and relatable, and Green highlights both her strengths and flaws to make her an extremely sympathetic character. The romance between Katie and her co-worker Baxter is heartwarming and the ideal contrast to the horrors and hardships around them as their love develops.
Green's skilled narrative brings the realities of the war to life like no history book ever could. Reading certain passages, one can easily imagine being there.
Thank you for an ARC of this brilliant book to #NetGalley. #romance #wartime

This was a really well done historical fiction novel, it had that element that I was looking for from the description. The characters had that element that I was looking for from the time-period and how well everything worked overall. The concept worked overall and enjoyed how good the story was. Molly Green wrote this perfectly and was glad I was able to read this.
