THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER

Funny how one lie can spiral…

One thing about me: I HATE flying. That’s why I book seat 2A every time.

Since my big win, I’ve been booking 2B and 2C as well. They’re my comfort seats, and at last I can afford them.

I am now determined to live the life of luxury. I deserve it, after all.

And if anyone learns my secret, they better watch their back. Because I will stop at nothing to get what's mine…

A pulse-raising thriller that keeps you guessing until the very last page, perfect for fans of Freida McFadden and The Holiday by T M Logan

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly captivating
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2024
I say "surprisingly" captivating because this is a different style of writing than I'm used to reading. Usually I read books where the characters are either rather zany and there's a lot of humor (Jana DeLeon) or there's a darker tone to the story (Dean Koontz). But I have to say that this book drew me in and kept me interested. Even though I thought the women were rather shallow (if a guy seems too good to be true, then be on guard!!), the story flowed quickly and had some surprising turns. I liked the conclusion and that there were no loose ends left dangling. I'll definitely read more by this author and I recommend this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Plot Twists!
Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2024
Jade Wiltshire is a lottery winner and as word gets out, most people mistakenly believe she’s one of three winners sharing a £60-million jackpot. And she doesn’t tell them any differently.

Instead, she quits her mundane job at a care home for senior adults and proceeds to live like a millionaire. This includes jetting off for a holiday to Marbella, Spain. Sounds good? It isn’t. Jade is deathly afraid of flying. She’s also claustrophobic, and this leads her to purchase seats 2A, 2B, and 2C.

After a harrowing bout of turbulence that convinces Jade the plane is going down, she tries to compose herself before landing. She meets a man, Isaac Marston, who returns her dropped book and has the temerity to sit in one of her seats. She lets it go though… because he’s gorgeous and appears to be wealthy.

Jade will make many, many more poor decisions, forever focused on the wrong thing.

While I didn’t know exactly where the story was heading, I believed I had the villains figured out.

I was wrong.

A great plot twist had me cheering by the story’s midpoint! Did not see that coming! Original and unique! Two more twists before the end had me applauding!

Isaac, of course, was the jerk I knew he’d be, but Logan was a disappointment. Marta was a superstar (and a shock), and well-written, as was her speed-demon hubby, Pablo. My heart broke for Astrid… at first, and poor Emmeline.

However, for me, Jade Wiltshire was problematic. For a woman on the other side of thirty, she behaved more like an errant teenager, attempting to be impressive and memorable. She thought herself clever and witty. She wasn’t, and she drank too much every time she drank; and Jade put her own selfish wants ahead of good common sense. Liking a character isn’t necessary to enjoy a book, but Jade’s actions cost the review a star. Also, while a suspenseful tale, The Girl in Seat 2A didn’t hit me as a thriller. Too much time in Jade’s frenetic mind bogged down the pace.

A boon for the story was the author’s smart writing. Descriptive uses of historical places and events (non-US) always bring a smile to my face! Mystery lovers will enjoy this read and do definite double-takes at the plot twists!

Enjoy!

The plot is - shall we say - a bit far-fetched , but I love the cheeky main character and her unconventional style. It doesn’t hurt that the action plays in front of a spectacular backdrop in southern Spain. I practically didn’t put this book down for several days straight.

4.0 out of 5 stars Boring in the beginning but got much better
Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2024
I almost stopped reading it early on. Jade was not likable to me. Her ‘vacation’ seemed like filler as it went on and on. Every day she was drinking till she was drunk or passed out. She made really poor choices even when sober. Borrowing money from Isaac to pretend to buy a high-priced condo was such a stupid thing to do. Her little game affected so many people. And then saying she would buy him a yacht as interest. What was she thinking? She already knew he was a horrible, controlling man. However, I kept reading. When the story switched to Marta’s viewpoint and her thoughts, the story got much much better. This is when I became eager to get back to it each time I had to put it down. And I was surprised by the reappearance of an earlier character. Good ending, BUT Jade should have returned the money to Emmeline. Jade’s gain was from Emmeline’s loss. I can recommend this book if you don’t need to like the main character to enjoy the story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely fantastic read
Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2024
I had never heard of this author, but now that I've read this amazing book, I can't wait to read everything else. Absolutely suspensful, I would not be surprised if this eventually gets turned into a movie. If you're looking for a fantastic read, look no further, just don't plan on putting this down until you've turned the very last page.

Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2024
Jade goes to Marbella to celebrate her windfall. She meets a dashing man who is not what he appears to be, and becomes entangled in his life. She has no one to turn to when things go south, so she takes matters into her own hands. And she is not as alone as she thought.....
Good through the last page!
