Not a favourite and I love Jenny Colgan.
I just didn't understand how this was a story. It felt so focused on something very few people can relate to (being a pilot) that I felt like an observer rather than a participant.
It's okay, I still have faith in her writing. I believe and hope for this to be an anomaly.

Really slow first half, repetitive, too much technical stuff about planes, and a really irritating main character.

Once again, Jenny Colgan pulls through with a book that makes me fall more in love with Scotland, with laughs and all the feels along the way.
I wasn't sure about this one to start. I wasn't too interested in the life of a pilot, or the technicalities of flying a commercial airplane. It was interesting, but not enough to keep my attention. It took me a few days of reading a chapter at a time before really got hooked. Around the time Morag returned to Scotland.
Jenny Colgan describing Scotland, from the food to the weather, the beauty and wildness of it all, is an immersive experience. It's like having a tour guide and a spell-weaver at the same time.
When Morag crash lands on Inchborn, an island with a year-round population of one ornithologist, during a sudden, massive storm, her first thought is surviving. She makes it to the cottage, where Gregor is less than pleased to see her. Despite treating her to a warm, luxurious bath, a whisky and dry clothes, Gregor makes it clear he's already missing his solitude. To Morag's dismay, she learns that there's no working radio, meaning she's grounded, her family possibly unaware that she was even alive.
With the power out on the main island, even when she finds a way to get a message out, rescue is a long way out. Gregor and Morag couldn't be more different in their approaches to life, but soon they fall into an easy routine. And Morag has to decide if she's ready to move on to bigger planes, less risk and a home far away in Dubai. Or if it's time to return home, to the life of her small islands and community.
While this didn't have the magic of "Bookshop on the Corner", I was still so happy to jump back into one of Jenny Colgan's worlds. Her books are always worth the read!
