Flight SQA016 by Amanda Radley

4.0

This was my first reading of this author. I have never read any fanfic or anything else written by her prior to this book. I need to start by saying I enjoyed the book, especially Olivia. I tend to adore characters that are not perfect. Internal conflict written in this way will pull me in every single time. I was cheering for Olivia and Emily from the very beginning. I breezed through the book, didn't want to stop and wham! The ending of this book is my #1 pet peeve in a book. It isn't necessarily the cliffhanger.. I am okay with those if I feel I resolved something in the book. If I feel the characters moved forward. I didn't feel that at all with this one. I took the bait.. purchased book 2 immediately after ending book 1. I wasn't thrilled about it though. I felt like I needed to pick up book 2 only so I could finish book 1 and that isn't a great feeling. I would have expected this from amazon authors, who write books in parts, but was surprised I got it from YLVA. 85 ish percent of the book was great for me. I thought Radley did great with creating characters which are highly relatable to readers. I could have given this 5 stars all day, but after finishing it I wanted to give it 3. I am now 40% into book 2 and have decided I can be less bitter now. I still think the book is worth reading, but I would think of Book 1 and 2 (and probably the 3rd one too) as a book best read all together. So if you are taking a vacation and want to commit to a 3 book relationship this is perfect for you.
