This novel had all the rom-com vibes from the beginning, with the airport meet-cute and drinks mix-up that brought our protagonists together. The drink mix-up was caused by the fact that our protagonists have the same last name. Brown, Mr and Mrs Brown, because of which everyone thinks the two are married to each other. Now, Mrs. Brown or Celeste is married to someone else, but her relationship is far from happy. The two have to deal with further misunderstandings when Mr. Brown ends up working at the same company as Celeste. The novel has a lot of character development, or at least self-reflection, as Celeste and Brown have differing world views, specifically on the topics of happiness vs promises. Brown thinks that one should choose happiness at all costs, especially when promises are kept just for the sake of them, and make you unhappy in the long run. Celeste disagrees. I also like her evolution in general, as she regains her agency and starts reintroducing elements in her life that bring her joy and don’t let others dictate her choices. I do wish that certain side characters were better developed, like Liv. She is Celeste’s best friend and ends up betraying her. I feel like this moment could’ve been more impactful had we gotten to know Liv better. She didn’t even interact with Celeste once, so we only got to know her through her POV as opposed to letting her character speak for herself. Another thing is that there seemed to be loose ends with Brown’s father. He had died at the beginning of the novel, causing him to join Celeste’s company in the first place. However, Brown didn’t seem to be entirely satisfied with all the discoveries he made about his father at the end (the message he was trying to send him, etc). I know that in reality, we don’t always get closure or the answers that we’re seeking, but it didn’t seem to fit tonally with the rest of the plot's vibe. Also slightly nitpicky, possibly, but I strongly disliked the use of the word stewardess, felt very outdated. It could also be because I travelled very recently and was pleasantly surprised by the nearly 50-50 split in terms of male and female flight attendants, so that terminology definitely took me out of the novel at the beginning. Overall, I do think the concept was super refreshing, especially the relevant financial tips that were integrated through the novel; they felt quite natural and not forced at all. The novel seemed like an early 2000s rom-com because those were the vibes it gave, and it felt very nostalgic for those reasons. I would also like to thank Julie for reaching out with the ARC. Thank you so much! I really enjoyed the novel.
