Beschreibung
Subversive and unexpectedly heartwarming, Sky Daddy hijacks the classic love story, exploring desire, fate, and the longing to be accepted for who we truly are.
Linda is doing her best to lead a life that would appear normal to the casual observer. Weekdays, she earns $20 an hour moderating comments for a video-sharing platform, then rides the bus home to the windowless garage she rents on the outskirts of San Francisco. But on the last Friday of each month, she indulges in her true passion: taking BART to SFO for a round-trip flight to a regional hub. The destination is irrelevant because each trip means a new date with a handsome stranger—a stranger whose intelligent windscreens, sleek fuselages, and powerful engines make Linda feel a way that no human ever could.
Linda knows that she can’t tell anyone she’s sexually obsessed with planes—nor can she reveal her belief her destiny is to “marry” one of her suitors by dying in a plane crash, thereby uniting her with her soulmate plane for eternity. But when an opportunity arises to hasten her dream of eternal partnership, and the carefully balanced elements of her life begin to spin out of control, she must choose between maintaining the trappings of normalcy and launching herself headlong toward the love she’s always dreamed of.

Okay so I loved literally every single minute of this. On it's face, this is a book about a woman who loves planes and has decided that it is her destiny to "marry" one, by dying in a fiery plane crash. And yes, for the entirety of the book, Linda is absolutely unhinged, bordering on manic. But this book is also so unexpectedly wholesome? Linda has always felt like an outcast because of her destiny and affection for planes, and really just wants to fit in. She dreams of having a friend she can confide in about her feelings, and who will accept her regardless. This was genuinely a perfect book. 10/10, no notes, maybe off to make a vision board of my own.
