The Last Flight

In this absorbing 2020 thriller, two women on opposite coasts are both trying to escape desperate, dangerous men—and do so by switching IDs at JFK airport just before their respective flights. (As one of the women recounts early in the novel, "The only way to get a fake ID is to find someone who’s willing to give you theirs.") I raced through this, enjoying both the plotty ride and the more nuanced musings on identity explored in these pages. Because of how Clark employs voice and perspective in this story, this thriller would be more fun than most to unpack with book club pals.
