Collection Rating: 4.5/5 stars
A collection of three interconnected novellas revolving around an airport setting.
I love a good novella collection, and this one was no exception! I found all of the characters a lot of fun, and loved the combinations of different tropes, including many of my favorites (academic rivals! fake relationship!)
What I loved most about this collection, however, was the airport setting. I’ve never really thought of an airport as a SETTING before—it’s usually a liminal space, an in between or transition place, but not a main location. Here, however, the airport functioned almost like a small town, adding a fun community feel to the stories that I really appreciated. I never would have thought of this concept before reading these, but now I’m a little bit obsessed with the idea, and the execution here was perfect.
Recommended to anyone, but especially if you like: novellas; small town with a twist; interconnected stories
CW: Infidelity and sexism
