The Layover by Lacie Waldon

Ava Greene is getting married! And her life as a flight attendant doesn’t fit with her new plans. So she’s decided that it’s time to move on. 

After one last, fabulous trip!

But Ava didn’t plan on her farewell trip—which includes a relaxing layover at a resort in Belize—including the awful Jack Stone. 

Stone, a fellow flight attendant and former pilot, is Ava’s nemesis. But he doesn’t know it. Which makes him all that much more maddening to be around. And she definitely doesn’t want to spend her time in Belize with the man!

Except that maybe Jack isn’t all that bad after all. And maybe Ava herself has a few things in her own life she needs to reckon with before her new start can truly begin. 

The Layover is the perfect read for anyone who loves a good rom-com AND needs a vacation. 

And let’s face it, we all need a vacation these days. 

Ava is fun and easygoing. But her lifestyle hasn’t made making friends all that easy. No one likes her crazy schedule. And no one likes her unreliable availability. Least of all Ava’s fiancé. Which is why Ava is ready to chuck it all. 

In fact, Ava can sympathize. After growing up with parents why never settled anywhere, Ava has always dreamed of setting down roots. And now she finally has that chance. 

But Ava also loves her job. And as much as she thinks she’s ready to trade in her polyester suit for something a little less itchy, she knows she needs to go out with a bang. Hence the Belize flight. 

Enter Jack Stone who has absolutely no idea why Ava hates him so much! And neither does the reader. In fact, it isn’t actually revealed until Ava herself admits it to Jack. And it’s safe to say that she’s been a bit hard on the poor guy!

But it does make for some fun reading :)

The Layover is fun and flirty and trope-y in all the best ways. It’s also a very fast read that’ll make you forget you’re stuck trying to make do with a tanning pool while dreaming that you’re really on an island enjoying fruity cocktails with tiny umbrella adornments…
