Reading Slump? Try the Last flight by Julie Clark

The Last Flight by Julie Clark—It follows two women, Claire and Eva, who seem completely different at first but have these really fascinating parallels in their lives. Claire is stuck in this nightmare of a marriage to a powerful, abusive husband, while Eva has this dark, messy past tied to drug smuggling. Both are desperate to escape, and when they meet by chance, they decide to swap lives—plane tickets, purses, everything.

What’s so amazing about the book is how it shows their stories side by side. You start to see that they’re both trapped in lives that force them to fight for survival. It’s not just about the thriller aspect (though it’s so intense and twisty)—it’s about their resilience and how far they’ll go to take control of their futures.

The writing is fast-paced but still emotional, and the twists are insane. I thought I knew where it was going, but the ending completely surprised me. If you like thrillers with strong, complex characters and a story that actually makes you think, this one’s for you. You’ll love it!
