That Burning Summer - Lydia Syson


♥♥♥


If there is one type of books that I love, it is romance, throw in a little bit of World War 2 drama and I’m hooked, sadly with this book it missed the mark for me.
It had so much potential. A small English town on the South coast, a plane that crashed and a young woman who finds its broken pilot. She helps him to hide, and slowly but surely she discovers the story behind the Polish pilot. With a younger brother who is coming to terms with the war, Peggy and Ernest are inseparable, and the two hide the secret of the fallen pilot.

Personally, this book dragged a bit for me, and the ending felt completely rushed. There were parts where even though the author was dealing with a fascinating story line, I was bored and waiting for something to happen. The whole book felt that way.

Another thing that really bothered me was the fact that the relationship between the two potential lovers felt forced.

I am sure that there are a lot of people who would like this book, sadly for me, it won’t be on my list of favourites.
