I was so excited to read this as the front cover peaked my interest.
Ruby finally gets her dream job as a flight attendant at Celestial Air but her toxic boyfriend, Richie, is completely against it. This is her dream job and her boyfriend did nothing but bring her down the entire time about it. What’s worse is that she stayed with him for over 80% of this book, letting him control her and insult her in the worst ways! I understand that toxic relationships can be hard to get away from but it felt like Ruby put up with her boyfriends s*** for way too long and it was dragged out a lot.
Ruby has no self-esteem and Is miserable in her relationship, still trying it bring back a spark that is long gone, until she meets a pilot at Celestial Air called Milo. Milo is like the “too good to be true” man for her and treats her the way she deserves to be treated. He shows her how beautiful and free her life could be once she stops letting Richie be her whole focus.
Yet she still stays with the idiot who shows no respect and is just a hateful person??? I struggled to understand why she stayed so long, especially when she started falling for Milo and knew she should leave her boyfriend who she no longer loved. Milo helped Ruby through a lot and was always there when she needed someone, unlike her boyfriend who left any chance he could get. Ruby did annoy me at times and I wish she had more of a backbone when it came to her toxic relationship but at least she eventually left and went on to have a better life.
Overall, I liked the relationship between Ruby and Milo and thought it was sweet. I just wish Ruby would have left Richie sooner so that her and Milo could have had more time as a couple. I also enjoyed seeing what training it takes to become a flight attendant, the training sessions were fun to read. I will definitely try more books by Jackie Ladbury.
