Book Review – Fly Me To Paris By Helga Jensen

Can Penny find the courage to spread her wings?

Penny is not living her best life.  Her job is far from thrilling and her long-term boyfriend shows no sign of wanting to commit.  She has just turned fifty and is going nowhere.

Wanting a new start, Penny applies for a job as cabin crew, to find out if she can push herself out of her comfort zone.

Her new job brings the adventure she craves, even if she does keep bumping into impossibly handsome but deeply annoying pilot, Matt Garcia.

Stuck in Paris on an unscheduled stopover, the chemistry between them grows. But the path of love never did fly smooth, as Matt’s past threatens to come between them.

Beside which, Penny is not looking for love. But what if love finds her?

My Review

Penny, a reserved woman in Wales, contemplates her unfulfilled dreams of travel and adventure as she turns fifty. After her non-committal boyfriend breaks up with her, an unexpected meeting with an airline stewardess leads her to apply for a cabin crew job. She’s chosen and undergoes transformative training. As Penny embraces her new role, she discovers passion in her job, forms valuable friendships, and explores Europe, even finding hints of a new romance. The book underscores the idea that it’s never too late to pursue dreams and make significant life changes, regardless of age or societal expectations.
