Come Fly with Me [B1735]

2025 PB. It's 1962, the dawn of the jet-set era. Hope takes flight for two Pan Am stewardesses navigating an adventurous new life in a novel about love, friendship, and escape by the bestselling author of The Memory of Us and Until We Meet. Welcome to a glamorous gateway to the jet age.

Judy Goodman and Beverly Caldwell have different reasons for putting continents and oceans between themselves and their disparate pasts, but they have the same desire--to earn a coveted position on an elite team of stewardesses for Pan American Airlines. For Judy, running away from an oppressive marriage in small-town Pennsylvania is a risk she must take. And for Beverly, leaving behind the gilded cage of New York society will allow her to pursue a future of her own making. Embracing the culture, etiquette, and strict rules of a thrilling and unpredictable new world above the clouds, Judy and Beverly are bound for faraway destinations and opportunities that other women dare only to dream about. But as they build a deep friendship, encounter love and danger, and discover what's truly important, Judy and Beverly must also confront the secrets that could change their lives all over again--and forever.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "I absolutely ADORED this book! It was my personal EVERYTHING... a bit of historical fiction, travel, strong female characters, humor, love stories, the power of female friendship, forgiveness, culture and more. I also felt it handled domestic abuse, a profoundly difficult thing, very well. SO happy to fly with this gem."; "This is my first five-star review of 2026! I absolutely love books with unique storylines and strong female characters, and this one delivered both. I wanted to be a flight attendant when I was little, so getting a glimpse of the 'behind-the-scenes' world from back in the day was especially fun for me. Both Judy and Beverly had distinct yet believable storylines that kept me engaged. There is romance, but it's a clean read, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend this book."; "This was such a fun book! I knew nothing about Pan Am and this topic is so interesting! I felt like she did a really great job of describing what it was like to be a stewardess. Only 4 stars because I felt the ending was abrupt and I was wanting so much more!"; "A very well written fun book. The descriptions of exotic faraway places were wonderful and a fun escape from the winter doldrums! Well done."
