Book description:
The trouble with
growing up is that you have to figure out who you want to be…
As if moving out of her
parents' house and away from her hometown wasn’t scary enough, Cory Sorrano
finds herself at Southern Gulf University not knowing a soul on campus. She is
chasing her childhood dreams of becoming a female pilot in the male-dominated
aviation industry and already feeling the pressure to succeed.
On the first day of
class, Cory quite literally bumps into Samson Wallis, a fellow Aviation major
who is easy on the eyes but has an equally gorgeous girlfriend back home in
Virginia. As the two help each other navigate through the ups and downs of
their freshman year in college, people around them can’t help but notice their
unmistakable chemistry.
As Cory struggles to
understand her magnetic friendship with Samson, she also needs to make sense of
her complicated relationship with her dark and mysterious flight instructor,
Cole Turner. Will she ever be able to make it as a female pilot with all of
these handsome distractions surrounding her?

Review:
**** 4 stars
An enjoyable and easy
read. At the start of college, Cory develops strong ties with 2 hot-looking and
interesting guys in her life, one being a fellow student called Samson, and the
other her flight instructor Cole. There is no love triangle and there is no cheating
involved, although there is definitely a magnetic friendship with Samson and
chemistry with Cole too. This novel differs from many other YA books in the
fact that Cory is going to aviation school and for once her roommate is a
devout Christian instead of the usual party-going girl. Also the choice of her
major is quite original, being a pilot is her lifelong dream. It was really
entertaining to read about her first steps in aviation and the procedures of
the aviation fraternity. I instantly liked Cory, her no-nonsense attitude, her
adorable clumsiness, and the fact that she’s not stuck-up, like Adeline, at
all. With two boys vying for her attention, and Cory who feels good with both
of them, you can’t be surprised that drama and heartbreak is inevitable. But
who’s heart will be broken, will it be Cory’s perhaps? You’ll have to read to
find out! I really liked the ending too, it leaves a small window open for
possible change in the sequel.
