This book follows Emily as she starts over in life. Emily is a 40 something air hostess who has always dreamed of being an actress. When her long term boyfriend Nigel breaks up with her for a younger model she decides its time to live the life she's always dreamed of.
Emily was was likeable and easy to identify with. I really liked her air hostess friends and I'm sure they could tell me a lot of funny stories from their times in the sky. Emily has a variety of roles to play and not all of them are actually on the stage but this did allow for many funny moments and lots of interesting locations for you to enjoy.
The book is split into 15 chapters each one representing a month of Emily's life. For me there was a lot of moving around and jumping about that sometimes I found it difficult to keep up. Just as you were getting into a scene then it would completely change which sometimes threw me off. There were also some lines in Italian and German both of which I don't speak and not all were translated which meant sometimes I wasn't quite sure what was being said.
There was a little romance in this book which I did enjoy. The male interest is romantic, passionate and hot!
The ending of this book is a little bit like marmite I think. You will either love it or you will not. While I understood it I was in the not camp.
If you like a story about second chances and living our life the way you want and not how others expect you to then this is for you.
