Aug 6 Behind Every Good Man

What a beautiful story full of character growth, heart, and love. Behind Every Good Man will grab you and pull you into politics, 50s in DC and a world of dynamic female characters who go against the norms of a controlling society and gave me Marvelous Mrs. Maisel vibes.

This book absolutely had all the emotions. I was laughing, scolding characters, cheering, wanting to strangle characters and I could not get enough…Especially when it came to Bev’s character. She was the life blood of the story and a total bad ass!

I really appreciated how this book addressed the prejudices and controlling mindset of a very male dominated world during the 50s and yet there was a new generation of women standing up and pushing back so they could be their own independent person.

I absolutely binged this fast paced story. The fun banter between several characters also had me fully engaged and giggling during every chapter.
