Found this book slow to start but then it totally took on a life of its own, the characters began to come to life and it ended up a great read.
Focusing on the girls who became lumberjills during ww2. Was fascinating to read of the struggles and the work these young ladies performed during the war. Also, was good to see the backstory unfold of each girl in turn.
Great ww2 saga

This book really just took me for a ride. I loved the build up, the character development, and the writing. I would definitely read more from this author!

Thank you to netgalley for this advance ecosystem of Lumberjills:Stronger Together. This book was very interesting and gave a lot of information about a branch of The Woman’s Woman Land Army in WW2-The Woman’s Forestry Division. Responsible for filling the jobs of conscripted men, they played a vital role in the war effort. Told mainly from the point of view of Keeva O’ Connor, the daughter of a conscious objectioner she is determined to play her part in the war effort while trying to avoid her past. There are other characters in the story who bring with them baggage too. They are all determined to succeed and do their part to help Britain win the war. . Very engaging story.

This was a fantastic story that I loved so much. I just had to read it in one sitting as it was such a wonderful story. I have read many war historical fiction stories, and this is the first one I read about girl lumber Jack's or Jill's in this case. It was so interesting. It certainly had me turning the pages quickly. I love all the different types and classes of girls in this story they certainly created lots of drama. I was even laughing in places. It was so well written that it was even close to getting that 5th star. I am so glad I found this book as the author created a wonderful sense of atmosphere and tension. The story definitely had me on the edge of my seat at times. I even shouted at the book at one point I was so shocked. I really can't recommend this book enough it's such a great story that I think you will love it too.

So much praise goes out to the author and publishers for creating such a wonderful story that I just couldn't put down. I will definitely be looking out for more books by this fantastic author.

1940. When the war started the UK didn't have much lumber stockpiled. A resource that they badly needed, so they opened it up for women to apply. Thousands did. These girls are tough beyond tough in this group. Man did they fight one another. Most had it tough at home growing up. A few of the girls' backgrounds come out here. Excellent read that keeps you engaged to the end. I could have done without some of the language but overall, it was mild.
I received this book free from the author, publisher and NetGalley book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

Lumberjillls is excellent historical fiction. I loved the characters and learned about how hardworking the women were for the war cause. I recommend this title.

Thank you NetGalley and Merrow Downs Press for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This was an interesting read and gave me an insight into the Lumberjills and the Women’s Land Army. I appreciated the insight into how women worked during WWII. The plot is good and well-expressed. I recommend reading this novel and appreciate that I was given the opportunity to do so!
