In the second Up in the Air book, readers learned more about why Bianca was reserved. And she had very good reasons for her aloofness and her shyness. James, however, wanted to be with her no matter what. Even if his earlier stipulations about not dating seemed to be put aside here.
Stephan was still very much present, and he just might be the character I enjoyed the most throughout the Up in the Air series. I enjoyed how James made an effort to get to know Bianca’s friends, because it made it more realistic that he really wanted to be with her.
All is not rose in Mile High, though, and the way the suspense kept creeping in made me anxious for the next instalment in Up in the Air as well.

Awful. Full of spelling and usage errors. Also trite and overused tropes. The "Crossfire" series by Syliva Day is a far better use of your reading time. This is the first time I've abandoned a series in the middle, that's how bad it is.

I loved this book. A good solid 5 stars. I know it has a been compared to FSOG and BTY almost religiously, but for me it had one huge dissimilarity especially in the first book. In both Fifty and Bred I loved so wholly the POV as much as the leading men. Being an avid fan of single POV books, i have to say this is the first book where i did not love the POV character as much as their significant other, though that is true more so for the first book than the second. By the middle of the second book, Mile High, I had warmed to Bianca and by the end loved her almost as much as James. Almost. Needless to say I found her, infuriating and frustrating those times, but by the mid part of book 2, they became part of her charm and less of my frustration.
But I loved this book, though. And would highly recommend it. Can't wait for the final installment.

Still so hooked & so impressed with this series. I am absolutely loving it. James is out here trying his best. He’s so messy, but he’s trying so hard. Proud of you, babe!

I am rethinking my career choice. Why would I spend my time in med school when there's James Cavendish somewhere aboard the plane?

I am absolutely head over heals with this couple and loved watching them trying to find the best way to mold into each other’s lives and share their histories while working to make it not define their future. There are so many side plots of conflict in this that It just constantly keeps me on my toes and wanting more. Seeing Bianca step into this high society world and learn manage around all the things like paparazzi and galas is great. And that cliff hanger has me shook. I’m so interested to see if the author will do what she did for this sequel and have a chunk of time between the ending of the previous book and the start of the next or if this is big enough to have barely any time pass.
