A review by readerpants
Fly With Me by Andie Burke

emotional
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
I don't know how to rate this one. 3.5? I'm baffled by the descriptors in other reviews and blurbs: sparkling, steamy, sweet, humorous, cute. The abusive family and the OTT-toxic girlfriend were just SO much. Esp the family. And I think the hardest to read was the moment when her nurse friend who works at Jake's care facility is like, "yeah, you know [this behavior/attitude] happens," and as a reader knowing that the author is writing from a lived lens re nursing, you realize that's probably just accurate.   Ooof. 

I didn't think it was bad, and I didn't hate it, but I'm left feeling pretty hollow and unsatisfied. Their miscommunications or inability to communicate. might have been realistic? Maybe? But ultimately this book didn't bring me joy. YMMV.
