Thanks to NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing for the advance reader's copy in exchange for an honest review.

I'm a huge fan of historical fiction, and I love the feeling of starting a new book and knowing after only a page or so that I'm going to love it. This book opens with interesting characters and more questions than answers, and the pace never lets up.

As we follow Eva's journey before, during, and after her time as a WASP during World War II, we experience the thrill of flying, the courage it took to succeed, and the agony of failing. Along the way we get to know Eva's friends and a man she can't help loving, and we get an inside look at the mostly unknown story of these American heroes.

Two big surprises come near the ending, which is satisfying and feels just right. I highly recommend this novel.
