Some books are meant to be read, not heard. They are meant
to be experiences and visualised by the reader. The tones of the characters,
the textures of their relationship are best experienced reading. This is
certainly one of them.
Mia Donoghue is the senior purser in an Emeriti airline. Ava
Alfarsi has joined the airline recently. They have mad attraction at first
sight. They spend an evening with the rest of the crew, but connect a little
more. On the layover during the next flight, they discover unexpected, but
shared, vulnerabilities about each other. They both are recovering alcoholics.
This secret, which no one else in their lives knows about, knits them closer. They
start spending more and more time together and the relationship grows.
Both the MCs are absolutely lovely. Their relationship
develops at an even pace and the attraction is palpable. The struggles with
fighting off alcoholism are realistically depicted. The sex scenes are great.
Thankfully, no forced conflict in this one. Just love and support.
But…
Yes, there is a but. We heard this one instead of
reading it. And we feel that marred our experience a great deal. Had we read
it, this would’ve been a 4+.
We surely recommend this book – but please read it.
