It’s not often that a book will genuinely hook me from the first page, but this one did it. I instantly loved Olive and related so strongly with her inner monologue. Both Olive and Stella felt like they could be real people. I appreciated that, while still being a romance, they had other things going on in their lives and legitimate shit to deal with. This is not some fluffy romance novel - it seems like it could be someone’s real life. Ok, maybe without saving Mickey Mouse’s life. (It wasn’t Mickey Mouse, I know, I know!)

Speaking of real life, there are so many random details in this book that aren’t exactly the same as my actual life but absolutely coincide with my life and I just… 👀 Andie Burke, did you write this book just for me? Lol

Anyway, I loved Fly with Me and I highly recommend it. It is romantic, heart wrenching, touching, and even has a little dash of spice. OH! And my favorite thing: SHORT CHAPTERS!! 🙌🏻 Seriously, give it a read. I adored it.

I really enjoyed this book. Olive and Stella were such compelling characters. i like that the romance engaged with the other real life concerns in a way that enhanced the story. parts of the story felt i bit like checking of a list rather than being essential to the story, but the strong ending really tied everything together in a very satisfying way.

Overall I think the premise of Fly With Me is wonderful, but the execution and the romance wasn’t there for me. 

Olive, an ER nurse who hates flying, is tasked with saving a life mid flight on her way to a Run Disney Marathon. As the plane gets re directed one of the flight attendants, Stella, offers to drive her the rest of the way to Orlando to make it to the Marathon in time. Insert and adorable date at Disney World! Once Stella’s airline gets wind of Olive’s heroics, Stella sees this as her chance to make her way up in the company. So they devise a plan to fake date and help each other out. 
 
The book does a wonderful job discussing grief and loosing a family member to both dementia and fatal accidents. As well as anxiety, and toxic family relationships. 

Where I think the book actually fell short for me was the romance. Olive and Stella, to me didn’t feel like they actually had chemistry or even a likable relationship. It seemed more like the book was trying to hit the tropes and (fake dating and miscommunication) some really good spice. Which the spice was quiet well done.
