We'll Meet Again: a heartwarming wartime story of friendship and love

We’ll Meet Again by Rosie Archer is the second novel in The Bluebird Girls series. You do need to read The Bluebird Girls before embarking on We’ll Meet Again. I enjoyed reading this engaging World War drama. Ivy, Bea and Rainey performed at the King’s Theatre and they received a good write up in the local paper. Blackie is busy fielding calls from people who wish the book the female trio. We follow the day-to-day lives of Ivy, Bea, Rainey, Jo, Blackie, Eddie and others. I like that there are side stories woven into the book. Eddie has decided to employee German POWs to help with his rebuilding projects. Max, a German POW, is determined to escape. He has a plan and it involves conning a woman. Various romantic relationships, and Little Annette’s act and estrangement from her mother. I thought the author captured the feel of the time period where bombs are being dumped on the area, spending nights in air raid shelters, and rationing of most items is in effect. Of course, there are ways to get around the rationing if you know the right people or have enough money. The Bluebird Girls sing in a variety of clubs. I liked the girls’ energy and lovely singing voices (I could just imagine them). I felt bad for Blackie and Jo who quickly tired of the singers bickering (whenever they got into a car). Their careers are taking flight and the ladies have some wonderful opportunities coming their way. We’ll Meet Again has drama, suspense, romance, and music. It was lovely catching up with The Bluebird Girls in We’ll Meet Again and I am eager to read The Forces’ Sweethearts.
