Thank You For Flying Air Zoe by Erik Atwell

I got real excited when Erik Atwell approached me about doing a blog tour for his chick lit novel Thank You For Flying Air Zoe. A male writing chick lit? I had given this a shot before with Robert Rave and his novel Waxed and had a blast with it. So I was excited to give this book a try. Apart from completely befriending new-Dad Erik, I had such a fun time with his book! The story begins with Zoe Tisdale about dying in a plane crash. That might be a bit dramatic, but it scared the crap out of Zoe, who begins to think about her life choices. Once in an all-girl garage band with aspirations of becoming a rock star, Zoe, now in her forties, is selling butter. Yes, her life did not pan out the way she expected. After her near plane-crash, she decides she is going to chase her dreams again. She wants to reunite the band, The Flip-Flops. This proves to be a challenge, as two members of the band aren’t speaking to each other (and are sisters) and the third is the over-the-top environmentalist that lives in a tree. But Zoe refuses to give up hope when it comes gaining her youth back. So buckle up, and get ready to fly Air Zoe!

I tried to make my synopsis as fun as Erik’s writing, but I don’t think it worked. Seriously, he just has a way with words that will keep you laughing as you read this story. Zoe was such a fun main character, someone who is so confused at how her high hopes of winning a Grammy turned into her selling butter. The supporting cast is a whole other story, and I loved all the ladies and their stories. I think Ginger was my favorite, just an off-the-wall high society wife and mother whose every scene had me snorting with giggles. If you are a fan of eighties music, you want to read this book. Or if you just appreciate a fun, light-hearted book that will make you smile, check out Thank You For Flying Air Zoe.
