A flight attendant's love life is prone to turbulence.In her first
novel for adults, Noel sticks closely to the chick-lit formula,
setting up Atlas Airlines air hostess Hailey Lane for a proposal
from her four-year-live-in pilot/boyfriend Michael on page one,
only to have her walk in on him in bed with another man 12 pages
later. The inevitable period of mourning and readjustment to the
single life follows, with the role of sage best friend filled by
Hailey's gay fellow attendant, Clay. Despite relocation to a seedy
apartment, and a bad case of sunburn during a layover in Puerto
Rico, Hailey is soon back in the dating pool, fancying first Dane
Richards, who returns her lost manuscript (she is an aspiring
novelist in her spare time) after an onboard mix-up, but getting
more deeply involved with wealthy Maxwell Dunne, until she realizes
that, despite his suite at the Paris Ritz and his excellent kissing
ability, size really does matter. We know that Dane is really "the
one" because Hailey's dealings with him are fraught with
misunderstanding. Meanwhile, the reader gets to hear plenty of
gripes about the downside of her job: "They expected us to work
overbooked flights with half the staff, search the airplane for
bombs before boarding, defend ourselves against violent passengers
with dialogue learned in a Verbal Judo seminar, and act as an
unarmed human shield for pilots who, securely locked in their
cockpit, were now packing heat." Having endured another dubious
affair, on Mykonos, Clay's declaration that he's leaving New York
and a round of layoffs, Hailey is finally rewarded with a
publishing deal for her novel and the love-and contractual advice
(he's a literary agent)-of Dane.As predictable as an onboard safety
video. (Kirkus Reviews)
When flight attendant Hailey Lane learns the rest of her trip has
been cancelled and she can fly straight home to spend her birthday
with her boyfriend Michael, she's thrilled. Her early arrival will
allow for some additional date night prep time, a definite bonus as
she's convinced Michael is about to propose. But when she walks
through the door, the surprise that awaits her is not at all what
she expected. And as she grabs her bags and flees the scene one
thing is clear-her entire future has just been rerouted. So Hailey
does the only thing she can: she sets out on a worldwide trip to
fix a broken heart. And thanks to free flight passes and long
layovers in exotic locales, she finds herself with more options
than she could have ever imagined...
From New York to Paris, from Puerto Rico to Greece, Alyson Noel
takes us on a trip filled with mojitos at every layover, outrageous
passengers in every seat, and a cute guy at every gate, as Hailey
tries to write her own happy ending.
