Great review. I see a lot of women identifying with this book because it describes the struggles of women in the old times with so much finesse and beauty

I generally don't enjoy books taking place during WWII. Still, this book sounds well-written with a lot to enjoy about it. The struggles of women during that time are described while still maintaining a strong plot.

Marty is in a struggle I believe a lot of women are in and can relate to, especially being in a line of work usually dominated by men. Great review this is.

Mystery, romance, and WWII history will appeal to readers interested in these genres. I like that the author brings to life the struggles women dealt with when working a job. While some things have changed, women still deal with similar struggles today so it should be easy to relate with the protagonist. Great review!

This sounds like a wonderful historical novel that takes place during World War II in America. Some may not appreciate the open ending but I do enjoy books that leave you to make your own conclusions. Congrats on the book of the day. Great review.

It sounds interesting with a wartime mystery and Martha also having to battle issues of equality. But I’m not a big fan of books that leave questions unanswered at the end unless it’s part of a series. Thanks for the review.

"Love and Sabotage" by Martha Tolles - excellent review, I understood the story of a young woman in wartime, holding down a job while the men were away. Fighting exploitation by the boss, how the heroine would enjoy today's Me Too movement.

That problem still exist in some places. Women still have to juggle advances from bosses and keeping their jobs. I appreciate the author for showing these things in the book. Congratulations on the BOTD.

Sounds like an interesting read, and while I know it's important for me to understand the struggles of women before me who paved the way for feminism, I think this book might make me angry about Marty's situation. Also, I'm not interested in U.S. history, so for that reason I'll pass on this one. Thanks for your review!
