Miss E. from Brian Herberger isn't the type of book I usually read but I'm glad I picked this one up. I read the first half very quickly but then the story was slowest and so was my reading. The end made up for everything. I gave this one 4 stars because it was inspiring, well-written and I was very fond of Miss E. and Bets. Lovely book! Thank you NetGalley for a free ebook copy.

This is a YA read set in 1967 about a girl named Bets. This was a quick and easy read and I loved the main character! There aren't many YA books about historical fiction (which is my favorite genre) so I really enjoyed hearing it from a teenager point of view. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes historical fiction or YA.

I really enjoyed this! Great historical setting. I'd definitely recommend to friends.

I enjoyed this, closer to 4.5 stars than 4, but that's not an option! A great coming of age YA story set in an interesting time in our history. Bets was relateable, and I liked the tie in to Amelia Earhart. I feel like the Vietnam War era is not that common in literature, so it was a refreshing change of pace

A solid and engaging read that was great for a weekend read.

This book was really unique and fascinating. Though technically about a YA/teen, this can be enjoyed by all ages - especially those who appreciate history.

The beginning of the book focused on finding out who Miss E is, and I loved that part! I won't say who it is, but you are in for a treat. I enjoyed learning about her "history" and what happened to her.

The book alternated between two main themes: Miss E and the Vietnam War. It was a nice break from becoming redundant and added more depth to the novel.

For the Vietnam section, the author did a great job writing in a way that would provoke thought and understanding rather than appealing to one side of the political argument. While it showcased the hippies of the 70s (which I enjoyed visualizing), it also made clear to respect military families and certain American values.

Definitely recommend for a relatively quick read about American history and growing up!
