Might be a little slow for some people, but I kept reading wanting to see how everything was going to turn out.
You'll know a lot more about airlines after reading this book. Their new starts come in part from the start-up of a new aviation business. Is it low self-esteem that keeps people in bad relationships or relationship patterns? They each make strides in overcoming their pasts, however. All of them have had problems in relationships, generally because of their own internal issues. It's a story of three friends and the airline industry. It sounds like it's supposed to be a romance, and there are elements of that, but it's not really. This was a different book than I expected. I'm more impressed with authors like say a Joan Wolf who is re-releasing her older books digitally for $4 each - that seems more reasonable - but as always, I can decide to buy or not buy. As someone who buys a lot of 2nd hand books, because I like reading the earlier works of authors I like, it sort of sticks in my craw when I see books by Macomber or Carr or whomever selling for between $7.99 to $15.99 *yes, really, trade paperback* years later with new covers and such. Takes a lot of bravery and cojones to start an airline and that definitely comes through. If that interests you, this book is insightful and feels accurate.
It was OK but dated and it was not so much three HFNs probably leading to HEAs being the focus, as the understanding, as you close the book, that the birth of a new airline was the true story. There was even a character in this one, Riordan - isn't that a family in the Virgin River series? Give me Nora Roberts anytime - all of her new books bear the NR seal, showing you the book is new. Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with publishers reprinting books but usually there's a more obvious sign, or I already know. A major plot point - and no, I don't think I need to include spoilers since this book was originally published in 2004! - was the psychological aftermath of 9/11.Īll through the book I had this sort of dated feeling, which I couldn't quite understand, until I figured out the book was a reprint. Three main characters, a female pilot, a flight attendant who reminded me of characters from Rona Jaffe novels, like The Best of Everything, and their gay friend (yes, he was that much of a stereotype). And it's a valentine to Las Vegas, pre the economic collapse and houses going underwater. I picked up Blue Skies at the Phoenix airport, which is entirely appropriate, since this is a book about the airline industry.
