The Best Books for Flights

For a hilarious read, pick up Christina Lauren’s The Unhoneymooners.

The story follows Olive Torres, twin sister to bride-to-be Ami, and Ethan Thomas, brother to the groom, Dane.

Olive and Ethan find themselves the only two wedding party guests who didn’t succumb to a wedding buffet-born illness.

Rather than lose an all-expense-paid honeymoon, the two nemeses decide to take their siblings’ honeymoon together.

The author’s descriptive writing had me in tears from laughing. This is a light-hearted book that will make your flight quite enjoyable.

I love the way Colleen Hoover tells this love story.

The story follows Lily, a once small-town girl living and thriving in Boston.

Lily reflects on her life by periodically rereading her journal entries, which, interestingly, she writes to Ellen DeGeneres.

Hoover writes brilliantly about the turmoil and trauma of domestic abuse.

She will have you rooting for Lily to succeed, laughing, and crying as Lily’s new and old relationships collide.

You will reach for the next book in the series, It Starts With Us, to find out what happens next.

This New York Times best-seller tells the story of Evelyn Hugo, a hugely popular and successful actress who, now in her seventies, seeks out a novice writer, Monique, to write her life story.

A surprising love story emerges through Hugo’s recollection of her life.

It’s not until the end that the reader discovers why Monique is chosen to write Hugo’s life story and potentially make millions from the book.

Rumored to be loosely based on Elizabeth Taylor’s life story, this book had me captivated until the end.

Ladies, this book is spicy!

Piper Bellinger is a spoiled, rich girl living it up in Los Angeles until she goes too far with one of her party-girl antics.

This time her step-dad won’t let her off so easy, and she is sent to live in her deceased father’s hometown in Washington.

You will love seeing Piper grow up, fall in love, and learn about her roots in this steamy love story.

The spin-off story, Hook, Line, and Sinker is just as good!

Laura Dave’s, The Last Thing He Told Me is a mystery thriller that follows Hannah as she tries to make sense of her new husband’s disappearance.

Readers soon discover Owen has gone missing after the feds raided his tech company for suspicions of fraud.

Hannah is left to raise Owen’s typical teenage daughter, Bailey. The two set off to uncover secrets from Owen’s past that reveal secrets surrounding Bailey’s childhood as well.

A series based on the book is now on AppleTV, starring Jennifer Garner.

The Golden Couple grabs your attention from the beginning and holds it until the very end.

I can usually guess the ending of a story, but not this one.

Avery, a therapist with an unusual counseling style, takes on what appears to be the perfect couple, Marissa and Matthew Bishop.

As Avery helps the Bishops through deception and infidelity, she finds moments from her own life intermingled with this golden couple.

The story’s complexity and unforeseen twists will keep you entertained, and why it’s the book you should read on your next vacation.

I wasn’t sure I would like The Inheritance Games because I thought it might be too young. It is, after all, listed as Young Adult Fiction.

I love the Harry Potter books, which are also in this same category, so I thought I would try it.

Honestly, I didn’t like it; I loved it!

The story is the first in a series of three books. The series includes The Hawthorne Legacy, and the newest release, The Final Gambit.

It follows Avery Grambs, a typical teenager who suddenly and mysteriously inherits a fortune, making her one of the wealthiest people in the world.

Through a series of puzzles, games, and twists, readers think they have solved the mystery of her inheritance, only to discover that there is more to the story.

The book is easy and will keep your attention on a long flight.

I liked it so much, I already read the second book in the series and have ordered the third.

I hope you enjoy them as well!
