Claire is longing to escape her seemingly perfect life, but when her carefully constructed escape plan is sabotaged at the last minute, a new offer is presented. But what will switching her flight seat cost her?
As someone who (used) to spend a lot of my life on planes for work I loved the idea of The Last Flight/The Flight. It certainly is a great premise and developes into an interesting and twisty thriller. As two strangers, both trying to escape their lives meet at an airport and switch places we get a rollercoaster ride in both the past flashbacks and the present day action to keep the pace high. The book builds to a really nice crescendo and I really liked the ending - which was really well executed. The book deals with darker issues including domestic violence and drug dealing but I think it dealt with them well.
As someone who used to do a lot of flight travel for business I did find the idea of being able to switch identities and easily board another flight a bit of a stretch - even on domestic flights your ID is heavily scrutinised at multiple points before boarding the plane! I must also admit I did feel some of Eva's flashbacks did drag in the middle section of the book but her story overall is interesting. All small niggles though - this really is a good thriller with a fresh premise.
Overall The Flight is a great read with a good premise and I recommend it. Thank you to NetGalley & Hodder & Stoughton for the chance to read the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
