A review by thecaffeinatedreader
The Spitfire Girls by Soraya M. Lane

3.0

The book had a kick butt premise, I mean people tend to forget about the Women pilots of WWII. Lane gave us some very stereotypical characters and it was fluffy and cute and heartwarming with dashes of loss thrown in. Overall it was a read I think most people would enjoy more than I did but I couldn't like it as much as I wanted to. I felt like Lane dangled this carrot before me and then took it away, the characters had no depth and this is the sort of book where she had every opportunity to make them as deep as the ocean if she wanted, and because they were so shallow the plot just didn't seem as genuine as it should have. Not to mention I did not like Ruby, and I also felt that there was no need to alter Lizzie just because she was an ambitious woman.

I would definitely recommend this to others who love heartwarming stories and historical fiction, it was just too fluffy for me.

I received this as a free digital copy from NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion, this book will be published on February 26, 2019.
