The Women by Kristin Hannah is one of the most emotional reads I’ve ever experienced—I don’t think I’ve ever cried so much while reading. The story is both heart-wrenching and educational, shedding light on the experiences of women during the Vietnam War in a way I hadn’t known before. Kristin's meticulous research made it feel like we were truly following a real nurse through the chaos of war. She didn’t sugarcoat the harsh realities, and the ending stayed true to the difficult journey these women faced.
