Great characters and plot. I love wartime books and would highly recommend this one. I'm new to the author but am looking forward to reading more in the future.

This is an amazing book filled full of emotion.
It has characters who will tug at your heartstrings.
This author writes historical fiction so well. A must read

I very much enjoyed this book. It has a good story and excellent main characters. I would definately recommend this book.

This wasn't bad, but it didn't dazzle me. It mostly just felt like I was reading someone's boring diary entries, which is surprising given that it's a story about a girl who joins the Women's Auxiliary Air Force during World War Two. And despite this story being 400+ pages long, none of the characters were really fully fleshed out. Side characters remained pancake-flat, and even Lily and Danny stayed neatly inside their narrowly constructed boxes.

This story just lacked a punch. There were plenty of sad moments, but I never felt the characters' sadness (or other emotions) on the page. The reader is told that someone feels this way or that way, but we don't see it. Shame.

Lily Mullins living in Manchester it's 1942 and WW2 is still raging. Lily working at the liners, fire watching and knitting socks she wants to do more especially as her boyfriend Danny Jackson writing to her since he volunteered in 1940 about it all, she decides to volunteer for the WAAF and goes for her medical and interview and pass to go to Blackpool as a wireless operator she meets new friends Amy, Marion and Alice. I loved this book, Lilys story will touch you in a lot of ways . A courageous young woman with emotional moments as you turn the pages, that will grip you. Hope to read more of this author's work

Loved this book especially at I'm From Manchester where it starts and knew a lot of the places mentioned. It wasnt afraid to have sad moments unlike some books are which I felt helped the story become more real.
I loved the relationship between the characters and have already been to look for the next book so I can see what happens to the other people mentioned in the book.

This is a Brilliant Book i have really loved following Lily through the war of the ups and downs that she and her friends went through.I don't want to spoil the book for others so won't say too much but this is a Brilliant book and i have ordered it and i wish Shirley Mann well with it.5*
