Reviews" Flying Solo is a testament to the truth that love comes in all shapes, sizes, and situations; that being alone does not mean being lonely. And Linda Holmes creates characters and conversations so real that sometimes I wonder if she is hiding in my closet, eavesdropping." --Jodi Picoult, New York Times bestselling author of Wish You Were Here "Linda Holmes has crafted another moving and tender novel full of bighearted characters, smalltown charm, and deep truths about life. Flying Solo is a perfect book for anyone who feels a little separate from the flock." --Rebecca Serle, New York Times bestselling author of In Five Years "It's impossible to read Linda Holmes without smiling. Flying Solo has everything: life decisions, second chances, intrigue, skulduggery, and a hot librarian! I loved it." --Clare Pooley, New York Times bestselling author of The Authenticity Project " Flying Solo is warm and comforting, like a weekend with your favorite people, sharing their funniest stories and hardest-won wisdom. After two very tough years, this lovely book is exactly what we all need." --Kate Stayman-London, bestselling author of One to Watch "Holmes's sophomore novel is a wise, heartwarming story of family, unexpected romance, and shaping your own path in a world where it often feels next to impossible to do so. It's a beautiful mystery and a tale of self-searching tied into one." --Carola Lovering, author of Tell Me Lies "As in her debut, Evvie Drake Starts Over , Holmes displays a gift for warm, richly drawn characters and situations that are as cozy as a steaming cup of tea. Laurie is refreshing as a heroine who is entering her 40s, a size 18, and completely comfortable with her life as an unmarried, child-free woman . . . A charming and easygoing look at all kinds of love and the beauty of independence, featuring supremely likable characters." -- Kirkus Reviews, "Linda Holmes has crafted another moving and tender novel full of big-hearted characters, small-town charm, and deep life-truths. Flying Solo is a perfect book for anyone who feels a little separate from the flock." --Rebecca Serle, New York Times bestselling author of In Five Years "It's impossible to read Linda Holmes without smiling. Flying Solo has everything: life decisions, second chances, intrigue, skulduggery AND a hot librarian! I loved it." --Clare Pooley, New York Times bestselling author of The Authenticity Project, "A refreshing reminder that there's no one-size-fits-all mold for a relationship, and that fulfillment can be achieved many ways." -- The Washington Post "Linda Holmes' sophomore novel, Flying Solo, is a near-perfect, feel-good summer escape for those of us who are not always satisfied with the traditional happily-ever-after." -- USA Today " Flying Solo is a testament to the truth that love comes in all shapes, sizes, and situations; that being alone does not mean being lonely.
