My Overall Thoughts on The Last Flight by Julie Clark
When I first heard about this book, I was expecting more of a steady thriller, so I guess I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect. Don’t get me wrong, the book was definitely thrilling and had my heart racing at moments. I would definitely classify it as a thriller more than any other genre, but it wasn’t a constantly-on-edge thriller. Regardless, I enjoyed the book. I enjoy books that give you a major event up front, and then take you back to the story prior, but still leave you with a mystery to solve. The Last Flight by Julie Clark did just that. We see the women switch identities at the airport, but ultimately, we don’t know the fate of one or both until the very end.
I do my best not to post any spoilers in my reviews, or any major ones anyway, but I will say I was a bit heartbroken throughout the story. Some of the topics discussed were difficult, but ultimately, I fell in love with the characters in the story, and wanted them to come out on top.
Would I Recommend This Book?
I would. I think that if you’re looking for what I would call a “medium” thriller, this is for you. It’s not a scary thriller, in my opinion, but it is more than a mystery. A thrilling mystery. Sensitive topics and trigger warnings may include spousal abuse, drug use and addiction, and airplane crashes. Relating to the abuse, I would keep this book in the adult category, or at least read it first before you decide what to pass along to your teenagers!
