Chasing the Wind by C.C. Humphreys
3.0
So, I originally got this in advance, but misplaced it in the two moves I went through before I could finally read it.
I agree with others' reviews that this would have been better as a movie, and when I researched the author, I could see why it's written that way. I do have to wonder why he didn't just go down that route for this story to begin with.
I didn't find the novel bad, but I doubt I will ever crack it open again, nor would it be anywhere near the top of my recommendation list.
I feel this novel would have been better if it hadn't tried to include Amelia Earhart, as her name felt more like it was being dropped, and would pull me out of the actual setting of the book (even though, the worldbuilding is done very well). For the most part, I believe Roxy is fairly fleshed out, and even more her on-again-off-again partner, Jocco.
All in all, it's pretty decent.
