Chris Bohjalian's THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT is a riveting literary thriller. That is an understatement. It's the best kind of book: the kind you can't put down so you put off doing anything else, including sleeping.
The main character, Cassandra, is the flight attendant. She sleeps around with strange men, and she is a raging alcoholic. She disgusts even hersèlf. But that isn't enough to make her stop.
As a result, she wakes up one morning with a dead man. And her problems keep escalating daily from there.
Although Cassandra is an unsympathetic character, she does redeem herself in my eyes . She cares for cats in an animal shelter every chance she gets. Besides that, she watches reruns of "The Big Bang Theory."
I read an advanced copy of this book. It's a safe bet for preorder.
