Upon first picking up The Layover I was happy to take a break from mystery and thriller and dive head first into some lighthearted romance. What I didn’t expect was to grow and question my own upbringing and life goals alongside Ava. Although initially finding her rather annoying and being irritated by her self-victimisation, she slowly grew on me and eventually I was not only rooting for this coworker enemies to lovers romance but for her individual growth. 

I was not expecting the little twist that came with Alexander’s surprise entrance however it allowed Jack to have his own growth and healing from past betrayals, just as Ava had. And seeing Gen and Pilot Paul’s evolution, although not as majorly documented, was adorable. 

Overall a short and sweet read.
