What readers think of The Last Flight, plus links to write your own review.

The first thing you need to know about THE LAST FLIGHT is that it is an unputdownable book, and you really will be glad you read it. It's the first Julie Clark book I've read, and now I want to read her others.

Claire is the abused wife of rich, well-known, and loved philanthropist Rory. He is dangerous, and she has so far been unable to leave him.

Eva is a former chemistry major who now produces methamphetamine in her basement. She hates this life but feels stuck in it and unable to escape.

They meet in an airport and trade identities. This is how each can leave her old life behind.

Most of the book is told in dual timelines. One is Eva's backstory; the other tells of Claire's experiences as Eva, her new identity.

The title of this book may lead you to believe that it is about an airline flight. Yet, you won't know for sure if Eva got on that ill-fated flight until the end.

And in the end, will EITHER survive? You'll be rooting for both.

Enjoyable and very readable. The author does a good job of entertaining and propelling the reader forward.

I really enjoyed this book. It had some fascinating twists & turns. This is an interesting story of the lengths a woman will go to in order to escape from an abusive relationship.

Oh I loved this book! Claire and Eva are both amazing women fighting through their own circumstances with such strength and purpose. From beginning to end you are captivated in this story. Such a creative plot that intertwines both lives and their struggles. I love the supporting cast of friends that bond with Claire and Eva. Liz is the loving nurturing supportive mother Eva never had. I think I would have preferred to not have read the epilogue though.

In the age of covid-19, when we all would all like to escape to the moon, Julie Clark offers up the perfect remedy. Speeding forward like a locomotive, the book pulsates with the energy of a good suspense novel, while creating heart stealing characters. Claire is married to a powerful, rich, handsome man but who abuses her physically and emotionally behind the scenes. Eva, the other main character, brought up in orphanages,has a hard time adjusting to life and gets involved in manufacturing and selling drugs to survive. Both want to escape their lives and when a chance meeting occurs at the airport they decide to switch tickets and identities. The consequence of that becomes the main focus of the book and structurally is ingeniously crafted. Friendship, "the Me Too Movement "and morality come into play in this propulsive novel that begs to be read in one fell swoop. Thank you Ms. Clark, for giving relief to part company from the real world around me.

The Last Flight is a well written story of two separate women trying to escape the consequences of the decisions they have made. Chapters alternate between the characters and I found myself sympathizing with and hopeful that each of the them would succeed in their “flights”.

I loved this book from the premise--and it didn't disappoint! Fast paced, yet great attention to character development and detail. I'm a slow reader, but this one kept me turning the page. Lots to discuss for book clubs: motivation, life-style, strength/ tenacity. Highly recommend!

Thanks to Netgalley and Sourcebooks LANDMARK for providing me this ARC. I highly recommend this upcoming thriller title. It starts a bit slowly, but by the midpoint, I was hooked on the stories of the main characters and their interplay. Great suspense, right up until the end and fantastic realistic women characters. A timely story for the current state of the #MeToo movement.
