Summary: When flight attendant Hailey Lane learns the rest of her trip has been cancelled and she can fly straight home to spend her birthday with her boyfriend Michael, she’s thrilled. Her early arrival will allow for some additional date night prep time, a definite bonus as she’s convinced Michael is about to propose. But when she walks through the door, the surprise that awaits her is not at all what she expected. And as she grabs her bags and flees the scene one thing is clear-her entire future has just been rerouted. So Hailey does the only thing she can: she sets out on a worldwide trip to fix a broken heart. And thanks to free flight passes and long layovers in exotic locales, she finds herself with more options than she could have ever imagined…

From New York to Paris, from Puerto Rico to Greece, Alyson Noël takes us on a trip filled with mojitos at every layover, outrageous passengers in every seat, and a cute guy at every gate, as Hailey tries to write her own happy ending.

What Do I Think?: I actually did like this book. Hailey seemed like a really cool character other than the fact that I wish she would have paid more attention to Dane instead of jumping to conclusions about him and Candace. I learned some things that flight attendants do, Like CPR on a place and how they can fly anywhere they want for free and that you need to work from the button to get to the top or you will get pink slipped like society these days.

Hailey doesn’t need a guy to make her happy. She had a great career before the company screwed it all up, she was trying to be a writer even though she should have learned from an expert than herself because it’s actually always good to talk to someone that knows more than her so she can do it right instead of getting rejected all those times, and she had a great friend that took care of her when she moved out of her ex boyfriend’s apartment.

I noticed in Alyson’s books that her parents are always divorced, they lived in California or it was mentioned in the story, and two books she mentioned Greece also (This book and Cruel Summer) but I like how she does it because as an author it gives her a subject to stick with that she knows best and memories she had that she could give to the characters. Hailey lane gave me the lesson of never give up on my dream no matter how many times I get rejected cause there’s always one person that’s interested in your work.

I thought the book was very enjoyable to read. It kept me interested the whole time to see what the main character was going to do next. It is more geared to a mature reading audience. I thought before reading it that it was going to be more teenage theme, however, after starting to read it I realized that it was more my age group. I would recommend it to readers who love romance, adventure and comedy.
