Recently dumped, air hostess Maya finds herself working on Christmas Day on a flight that should have been taking her to her wedding in Central Park, New York.

On a drunken whim, she decides to begin a twelve-month rule of singledom and records her efforts in a blog, titled 'Flying Solo.'
With her life a mess, she finds flying is her only comfort and escape from reality. Until however, she notices a familiar face appearing every month on the same flight to New York. The same face who formally complained about her only a month earlier. But a chance encounter in New York city sees their paths intertwined and secrets are revealed, showing Maya that first appearances are not always what they seem.
Maya finds that she starts to look forward to seeing his face in seat 28c. But with her blog gaining popularity with single women everywhere, and with the surprise re-appearance of her ex, Maya finds herself caught between two men, and her twelve-month rule of singledom is proving tricky to stick to....
Maya is DONE with men. Christmas Day was meant to be the happiest day of her life: a picture perfect New York wedding in Central Park. Instead, air hostess Maya is working the Christmas Day flight from London to New York a week after Michael dumped her and got engaged to someone else in THE most public way possible. It's already the worst day ever. So when the grumpy passenger in seat 28c, pushes all her buttons and then complains about her service, it's the final straw. Maya makes a pact: swear off men for one year and focus on herself, writing about one (fun and sometimes terrifying!) challenge a month in her new blog Flying Solo. But that no-longer grumpy and actually quite charming passenger keeps appearing, both on and off her flights... Now life is about to take off in ways Maya could never have imagined. The utterly heartwarming and uplifting romance debut from Joanna Knowles, this is perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan and Josie Silver.
