Flygirl

This book felt like homework. Well-written homework, but still. I didn't ever really feel like Ida Mae was in danger of being outed, except for the one hardware store scene, which was well-done and kind of scary/ominous. I didn't ever really connect with any of the characters, except maybe Patsy, who I wanted to know more about. (And this isn't to say that Ida Mae's story wasn't interesting, because it was, but I'd never even heard of wing-walkers before this.) Also totally didn't buy the romance - it felt really thrown in, like someone was worried that people wouldn't be interested in the story without it. Ending seemed a little abrupt as well.

The writing was a bit juvenile and would've worked better in an upper middle grade but otherwise this was pretty good! I don't tend to read/like historical non-fantasy so this was refreshing.
