g it a "flight book"? Well, the story kinda starts when the main character gets on a flight...Lucy is on her way back home to Australia for the first time in 9 years and the reason is that her 2 best friends from her childhood are getting married - to each other. Just as she's about to turn off her phone on the airplane - she reads a text message sent from her boyfriend's phone and that's when all hell breaks loose.
The long flight forces Lucy to think about her relationship and even if she thought she knew it all she has to re-evaluate it as soon as she steps off the plane and.... the story continues.
It's supposed to be funny and don't get me wrong, it is, but it is also a book that tells you the perhaps not so good story about a relationship that's been going on for a while. It made me think about my relationship and I realised that mine isn't that bad at all, although I already knew it but it's nice to have it confirmed!
It's written in a way that it gets you involved. I kept on telling Lucy to "do this" and "don't do that" and "he's obviously a tosser" but also "what are you getting at?" (obviously quietly as I was on a plane myself and didn't want to be seen as a nutter - which is one of my ultimate fears). So it's not just a read and forget kind of book.
I enjoyed it but just as much as I think it's ok - someone else is going to dislike it. It's very much a book that feeds of your current state of mind so it could go either way. I read it on a good day so I liked it.
