Book: While You Were Mine by Ann Howard Creel
Reviewed by Book Holds and Jello Molds
Rating: 3/5
This book had great potential, but fell flat in its execution. For me, I have a hard time with characters who get walked all over. Gwen, the main character, is one of those. At first, I liked how selfless she was and how determined she was to provide a good life for the abandoned baby she's left with. However, over the course of the novel, I grew really tired of how she let everyone else take advantage of her. I'm giving it three stars due to the great depiction of post-WWII New York City and the reality facing the men and women who survived the war.
