One Pilot Two Sisters
Family, friendship, love, commitment, rivalry, and the war come into play as sisters Sally and Mavis make hard life choices.
It is June 1940 when Sally and her younger sister Mavis leave their parents' home in Coquitlam to live in Victoria, British Columbia. Sally is in turmoil about a life-altering secret she wants to keep from her family. She dreads the decision she must make while in Victoria. Mavis is the youngest child of the close-knit Regan family and has agreed to accompany Sally. She is happy about the adventure and independence Victoria offers.
The sisters are greeted at the ferry by Paul, a Royal Canadian Air Force pilot on leave from training. Paul has a painful memory from his childhood that haunts him. The three of them spend two glorious days touring Victoria. Sally forgets her dilemma for two days. Mavis is fascinated with Paul and the city. Paul is falling in love, but he doesn't know which sister.
On Paul's next leave, their friendship becomes complicated and conflicted when Paul introduces the sisters to his best friend, Anton. Mavis meets Conrad and is committed to their unhealthy relationship.
The sisters' interwoven connection of rivalry, devotion, and love has many intriguing twists and turns until Sally and Mavis follow their hearts and let fate intervene. This decision results in a cherished, unexpected, lifelong connection with Paul.

decent story line
This book had a decent story line but the writing was not my favorite. The dialogue didn’t flow well and was hard to read.

This was a Goodreads Giveaway which I always love and appreciate!
The plot was okay, it was a fine story. I could not get beyond the writing and the errors in past and present tenses- it just didn’t flow and therefore seemed too juvenile. It just needed a thorough editing/proofreading. I wanted to read on and see what happened with the characters and so I did, but I never thoroughly looked forward to picking up the book like I usually do.

I enjoyed reading the story of the two sisters. It was a good read, and I'm looking forward to the next book to see how the family evolves from all the secrets. The ending was a surprise.

Won through a Goodreads giveaway.
⭐1/2 Stars
The story itself was enjoyable enough though with a few plot holes, but the writing quality was quite poor. It was more like a rough draft than a finished book.
The dialogue was clumsily written, and frequent switching between past and present tense was discombobulating. There was a plethora of typos that ranged from incorrect punctuation to random capitalization to sentence fragments to words that flat-out made no sense in context.
I also wanted more "show-don't-tell" writing. So many things were simply and bluntly stated, lacking in emotion, detail, and any kind of build-up. These parts read like a plot outline or stage directions rather than narration in a novel.
Overall, an okay read story-wise, but I found the writing style immature and highly unpolished. I'm highly unlikely to come back to this author.

This book reminded me of the TV Series "Call The Midwife" with its detail of the era and frequent births! This book is set 10 years or so earlier at the very beginning of WW2. Characters have the same goodness of heart, family values, verity and drama. Once the protagonists were established it really gripped me and I read the whole book in a day and a half. Georgina presents the difficulties faced by the two sisters, their unflinching committment to facing whatever life throws at them, and the happiness of love fulfilled. It is love that instigates their difficulties, and love that eventually triumphs. A very life-affirming read.

It is a page turner with unexpected plot twists.

So far this story is predictable. I hope I'm pleasantly surprised once I'm finished.
