This was really interesting and rather enjoyable.
The only downsides were:
- hard to keep up with the changing time frames when reading by audiobook (might be easier if reading in hard copy)
- towards the end I felt like it could have ended and there was just this interest in putting extra details and stories in to put things in because the stories shouldn't be lost. While I get that - it seemed to dilute the Code Girls aspect of it because we started talking about G girls doing other things (I won't spoil it).
I found the epilogue very satisfying for my human interest-loving self and I'll be counting this for the Advanced Reading List for the 2018 PopSugar Reading Challenge of a micro-history unless I come across another one in the next year I'd rather count more. ;)
