Jasmine is a 40 something woman who is trying to escape an abusive relationship. In her words she is a "chick in her 40s who has never really done anything in her life". She just wants to be free. Free to experience life on her own terms. Free to explore and have exciting adventures. She's both joyous and fearful of what the future will bring.
Stephanie is a news director on her way to a conference in San Diego. Stephanie is divorced with an adult child. While she doesn't have anything keeping her from travelling frequently, she's getting a little tired of leaving her cat, Fred to attend yet another conference. Thankfully, her friend and neighbor, Robert has no problem taking care of Fred while she's gone.
Jasmine and Stephanie meet when they sit next to each other on the plane. They have no idea how their lives will be forever changed after this meeting.
We hear from plenty of other characters and while it was a little hard keeping them all straight at first, I got there eventually. The audiobook has a full cast of narrators which was very entertaining. At times it was a bit far-fetched but I was still completely absorbed and excited to see what would happen next. I was positive I knew where the story was going, but it ended up being VERY different from what I expected.
This story reminds you to be careful what you wish for.
