Flying by the Seat of My Knickers
Flying by the Seat of My Knickers | Eliza Watson
9 posts | 6 read | 15 to read
Why run from your troubles when you can fly instead? When Caity Shaw is fired from her first job that doesn't require an elf uniform, her older sister, Rachel, an event planner, hires her to work a meeting in Dublin. Caity jumps at the opportunity to travel abroad and escape her pathetic life. However, even four thousand miles from home, there's no avoiding debt collectors, an overbearing mother, and haunting memories of a controlling ex. While in Dublin, Caity suffers a series of humiliating mishaps, causing her to lose even more faith in herself. Caity struggles to earn Rachel's respect--and to keep Declan, her hot Irish coworker, at arm's length. Declan repeatedly saves Caity's butt and helps boost her self-confidence, making it difficult to keep her distance from the charming womanizer. When Declan helps her research her Irish grandmother, Caity discovers the mysterious past of the courageous woman she barely knew might hold the answers to her future.

I go into these books labeled “chick lit” with much skepticism. I needed a light book and this one was surprisingly charming and well-written. The MC, traumatized by an abusive relationship, has lost all confidence. Her sister gives her a temp job, to help with an event in #Ireland. This is the story of her experience there, the good & bad. I loved the genealogy that shows up, too! It‘s very tempting to buy the next book in the series. 4 🌟

A quick, fun read. Caity Shaw gets fired from her job. Out of options, she takes a temporary job working for her sister, Rachel. There is a strained sister relationship, a cute guy, an obnoxious co-worker, an overbearing mother, and a family mystery. This series has potential.

I thought this was a really cute and promising start to a series. The heroine, Caity, is coming out of an emotionally abusive relationship and re-learning to have confidence in herself. Not really #romantsy (which I had thought it might be), but enjoyable summer reading for sure! Thanks for letting us know about this series @robinb!

robinb Sorry, just saw this! So glad you enjoyed it...unfortunately I haven‘t got to it yet! 😩 Looking forward to it! 6y

#reversereadathon Book 6 complete on Nook!
Thanks a lot @robinb I just bought the whole series after reading the first one 🤣🤣🤣 #blameitonlitsy
This $0.99 book was just delightful, perfect read for summer but it also has heart. Caity is getting out of an abusive relationship and goes to Ireland to work with her sister who works events at a hotel. I love that Caity is striving for self-growth. The fact that she travels everywhere is fun too!

robinb Oh yay!!!! Thanks so much for tagging me about this one! I‘m so glad to hear you enjoyed the first one...looking forward to it myself. 😊👍🙌🏼 6y

Wow! That's really my first reaction after reading this book, and it happened at the end of just about every chapter. I L-O-V-E-D this book! It should never have ended. I need more. Thankfully there is a second book coming out, so I won't have to wait too long.

I laughed. So much. At least once per chapter but usually more than that. Caity reminded me of myself, and her internal dialogue was...*Read more on my blog - www.ladywithaquill.com*
