Read a story, FAA to allow tablets and e-readers during all phases of flight, (at bottom, story has: First published October 31st 2013, 10:06 am). Near the bottom is this paragraph:
Not to mention that passengers will sometimes sneak in a few Words with Friends turns when they think they can get away with it. “You can’t be looking at everybody all the time,” said Tiffany Hawk, a former flight attendant and the author of “Love Me Anyway,” a novel about airline culture. “People are always pretending to turn things off even when they’re not.”
I looked at Kirkus review of that book, which has this: ""Readers will find the book's two heroines well worth knowing."
And they are. I read 185 pages in 2 days. Story is solid, well paced, and has substance.
Publisher's Weekly: Though Hawk provides a fascinating snapshot of an industry seldom explored in fiction, the cycling between first person (Emily) and third person (KC) is distracting, and Hawk's prose turns didactic as the pace slackens.
I did not find the alternative narrators distracting, but I do agree that as the book reaches its last quarter the narrative style weakens.
Fun, worthwhile, nicely done.
