Mrs. Witherspoon Goes to War by Mary DavisMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
This WW2 series by Barbour Books is very captivating. Not only do I learn new things, with this book all about the WASPs, through the detail historical research the authors performs, but we also get an entertaining fictional story as well.
I really enjoyed Peggy and Howie as characters and their sweet romance. But I loved Nightingale and Brownie - I just enjoyed their personalities. One small thing for me was that I didn't really liked Peggy's call sign even though it fit her. The author did a great job of showing the reader, through these characters, just how many challenges women pilots faced.
There was one thing which felt a bit unrealistic which the three ladies performed for that time period and their training, but overall I enjoyed the story and I adored the part of the dolphins!
Recommended to fans of Historical Fiction.
