Confessions of an Air Hostess by Marisa Mackle


I finished this book in less than a week! Awesome book :) Witty... and most of all it all sounds so familiar! Hahaha...

By Marisa Mackle

ISBN: 978-0-7553-3989-1

Ladies and Gentlemen please fasten your seatbelts and listen to the air hostess. She’s having a bad day.

Don’t Make Her Cross.

Air hostess Annie’s life takes a serious nosedive after her boyfriend dumps her (by text) and takes off with a thousand pounds of her money.

But before she has time to do what she really wants (lock herself away with her tears and a jumbo tub of ice-cream), she has a planeful of passengers to cajole info good behaviour. So it’s on with the fake tan (and fake smile) and off to work as usual.
Which is just as well, really. Because you never know, the departure of Mr Wrong could mean the arrival of Mr Right… Couldn’t it?

We hope you relax and enjoy the trip. One thing’s for sure, you’ll never look at a flight attendant in the same way again….
