The Last Flight by Julie Clark
4.0
4 ⭐️ this was such a suspenseful and powerful story!! i knew immediately from the dedication that the author was coming from the right place with it (and the “conversation with the author” section elaborated on that even more), and julie clack did not disappoint.
the premise of two women in difficult situations who are desperate to disappear from their lives without a trace meeting at the airport and exchanging their clothes and tickets and whether they were going to get away with it was very intriguing to me.
i was invested in claire’s story and rooting for her right away, and i really appreciate that the author didn’t turn the abusive marriage plot line into torture porn (happens a Lot unfortunately) and we focused on a smart and strong woman escaping a horrible situation, starting a new life, and healing. in my opinion, all of the sensitive topics were handled very carefully.
eva is a little more complicated and flawed, but you can’t help but root for and sympathize with her too. her story was so heartbreaking. really really glad that female friendship was a big thing for eva’s story. the epilogue hit me So hard too.
the plot lines are intertwined so masterfully and the writing is so great that it’s suspenseful and unputdownable the whole time. i was really surprised by the plot twists And my heart was actually pounding when i was reading some quietly ominous scenes.
