Decent read. Some male POV which is unusual for books written in this time period. Fairly well written story of a 24 year old girl who was sort of living in a manner that everyone expected of her instead of living her life as she really wanted it. She meets a man who kind of sets her free. Good descriptions of the islands off the west coast of Canada and of flying (his job) and working as a radio reporter (her job). He loved her but was a bit beta. He pointed things out to her and then let her make her own decisions. I suppose that's the kind of man who would be easier to live with in real life but maybe not the most exciting in a romance novel. It was a bit dated in that the attitudes of both the men in the story, except the hero, and some of the women were very much concerned with a woman's "proper place." I was 24 in 1986 when the book was written same as the heroine and I don't remember all of this angst over women's lib that these old HPs seem to portray. ( )
