I desperately wanted to like this book. I've read some other historical fiction about female pilots in WWII and they are some amazingly brave and badass women! And I did enjoy the character of Juliet who was inspired by real life spitfire, Mary Ellis. But, there were a lot, A LOT of typographical and grammatical errors (that would have easily been found in a spellcheck or a good proofreader) that proved to be way too distracting for me.
Then of course there was some cheesy romance which I'm not a fan of: "..who, within less than an hour of meeting [    ], had fallen madly in love with her." Oh, come on!!!!

For those who enjoy a chick-lit romance, who can skim over poor editing, this may be the book for you. Sadly, I will probably not read Ms. Hudson again.

Summary from Goodreads: Inspired by the brave women of WWII, this is a moving and powerful novel of friendship, love and resilience.  A daring WWII pilot who grew up among the clouds, Juliet Caron’s life was one of courage, adventure – and a love torn apart by war. Every nook of her Cornish cottage is alive with memories just waiting to be discovered. Katherine Henderson has escaped to Cornwall for Christmas, but she soon finds there is more to her holiday cottage than meets the eye. And on the eve of Juliet’s 100th birthday, Katherine is enlisted to make an old lady’s final Christmas wish come true…

Quotes: "...remember that the first throws of love are nothing more than obsession...And never let a man know how deeply you love him, because once he has the upper hand, he will break your heart in a single moment and not even pause as he steps over your broken body to move onto the next."

"I realized that it was time to start looking forward rather than constantly glancing over my shoulder trying to keep focused view of the past in sight."
