"The Last Flight is thoroughly absorbing - not only because of its tantalizing plot and deft pacing, but also because of its unexpected poignancy and its satisfying, if bittersweet, resolution. The characters get under your skin." (The New York Times Book Review)

Two women. Two flights. One last chance to disappear.

Claire Cook has a perfect life. Married to the scion of a political dynasty, with a Manhattan townhouse and a staff of 10, her surroundings are elegant, her days flawlessly choreographed, and her future auspicious. But behind closed doors, nothing is quite as it seems. That perfect husband has a temper that burns as bright as his promising political career, and he's not above using his staff to track Claire's every move, making sure she's living up to his impossible standards. But what he doesn't know is that Claire has worked for months on a plan to vanish.

A chance meeting in an airport bar brings her together with a woman whose circumstances seem equally dire. Together they make a last-minute decision to switch tickets - Claire taking Eva's flight to Oakland, and Eva traveling to Puerto Rico as Claire. They believe the swap will give each of them the head start they need to begin again somewhere far away. But when the flight to Puerto Rico goes down, Claire realizes it's no longer a head start but a new life. Cut off, out of options, with the news of her death about to explode in the media, Claire will assume Eva's identity, and along with it, the secrets Eva fought so hard to keep hidden.

For fans of Lisa Jewell and Liv Constantine, The Last Flight is the story of two women - both alone, both scared - and one agonizing decision that will change the trajectory of both of their lives.

I never leave reviews, but I wanted to for this book.
One of the best fiction books I have read, the ending was so bittersweet I cried. Many times I feel like the narrator does not fit the story but for this one, she was perfect. I could place myself into these womans lives and feel their pains and fears and the twists and turns of their lives. I am not eloquent so all I will say is that this book is a must read. It grabs you from the start and builds and builds until you must keep listening to its conclusion.

I really enjoyed The Last Flight. It was a tricky intertwining of two women’s lives and kept my attention. The characters were well crafted and strong. There were times when I felt the descriptions went on a bit longer than necessary, wanting to fast forward to the next notable event, but in hindsight, each detail was important.
The two narrators were good - no complaints.
I selected this as a free read and I’m very glad I did! I will look for another title by Julie Clark.

Great Story!
