Come Fly with Me

A Novel

De: Camille Di Maio

Narrado por: Carly Robins, Dominique Salvacion, Sherri Slater

It’s 1962, the dawn of the jet-set era. Hope takes flight for two Pan Am stewardesses navigating an adventurous new life in a novel about love, friendship, and escape by the bestselling author of The Memory of Us and Until We Meet.

Welcome to a glamorous gateway to the jet age.

Judy Goodman and Beverly Caldwell have different reasons for putting continents and oceans between themselves and their disparate pasts, but they have the same desire—to earn a coveted position on an elite team of stewardesses for Pan American Airlines. For Judy, running away from an oppressive marriage in small-town Pennsylvania is a risk she must take. And for Beverly, leaving behind the gilded cage of New York society will allow her to pursue a future of her own making.

Embracing the culture, etiquette, and strict rules of a thrilling and unpredictable new world above the clouds, Judy and Beverly are bound for faraway destinations and opportunities that other women dare only to dream about. But as they build a deep friendship, encounter love and danger, and discover what’s truly important, Judy and Beverly must also confront the secrets that could change their lives all over again—and forever.

I did fly away!

This book paints very vivid images of a life and a time gone by. I hadn’t realized what a life changing opportunity a career as a Stewardess was for women then. The two protagonists lives are markedly different yet they both become similarly strong as women and professionals. A wonderful story about many things but as a woman blessed with deep friendships, this became a very personal story. Wonderful imagery, I felt like I was right there, in every scene, especially the travel scenes and it was a great “staycation!”

Delightful Read

Come Fly With Me is a genuinely captivating read that was moving and engaging. I quickly fell in love with the friendship that grew between the main characters. I became invested in their stories and I know these are characters I would want to revisit. This is a book you keep.

If you are a fan of anything related to air travel or the Jet Set era, you’ll love this book. I’d also recommend this to fans of Taylor Jenkins Reed who are looking to expand their horizons and see the other shiny stars of those times.

It is a little sad towards the end, so keep tissues handy. That said it is still an uplifting read for someone with difficult choices to make when it comes to a relationship.

Thoroughly enjoyed

I loved this book! Story was great. I loved all the characters except for Henry. I remember so many of the incidents in this book. I also lived, went to school and worked on Oahu, so I was familiar with all the locations in the book, although explained thoroughly, no visits necessary. Judi and Beverly were so delightful and I felt like they were my friends also. I highly recommend this book.

Intriguing and heartfelt

This book now ranks among my favorite that I have listened to or read in the last few years . It is an original and creative storyline that provides both education and entertainment. The story of friendship, newly discovered independence, loyalty, and love is heartwarming and just a feel good story in general. Although Judy encounters a dangerous situation at times, the strength and love of those around her is uplifting. I will be purchasing more books by this author immediately! Highly recommended!

Transported through time

Great storytelling. Detailed to the point where you feel the sand, work in the planes kitchen. A true pleasure as you move about your day.

A Standout

this is one of the best Kindle Unlimited titles I have read. I mostly listened to the fantastically narrated audible, bit I did read parts. I love the wY the title of the book (and song) really tied in so perfectly. I hated to end the book.

Looking for an Escape? READ THIS!

Wow! This immediately absorbing book neatly shoehorns an intriguing feast of topics and fascinating storyline with compelling characters into a tightly written historical retrospective on the legendary PanAm Airways in the early 1960s.

Best book of 2025

Breathtaking. Incredible time piece with fantastic characters that are both lovely and relatable. This book was refreshing for a historical lover and touched on a place in time with Pan Am Flights and its impact upon our lives and our history. I believe this book will be my favorite book of 2025 and one of my all time favorite reads. Fantastic real historical events and learning experience for me to read with its own beautiful fiction. Great narrators who I always love to listen to and fantastic storytellers! Highly recommended this!
