Four stars because it's 792 pages and I managed to read it in a month. Not a particularly great literary achievement, but quite the entertaining tale.

shelves: essays-and-memoirs
review:
The ending is expectedly dissatisfying, but overall an entertaining read, particularly if you're from the Trafford and/or Pittsburgh area of the world. Lori Jakiela's prose is delightfully snarky, depicting the many misadventures and harships of flight attendant work and the comical-yet-painful experiences she has endured in the air. As her love of New York City leads to her ultimate apprieciation for small-town Pennsylvania, she decides that it's the "little things" that make our lives worth living--even within her memories of the Big City.
