Review
“Sex in the City at 37,000 feet.”
–Publishers Weekly
“A charming journey to self-discovery that takes flight from page one. Fly Me to the Moon is a sweet and funny adventure of love, friendship and finding one’s way in the world. Chick-lit readers will love Hailey Lane’s first class tale from 30,000 feet.”
–Jennifer Coburn, author of Tales From the Crib
“From New York to Paris to Greece, Fly Me to the Moon is a breezy, sexy tale about those other jetsetters. Watching flight attendant Hailey discover her own wings--ones not pinned on a polyester blazer--is romantic, hilarious, and moving. Open to page one and prepare for takeoff!”
–Liz Ireland, author of The Pink Ghetto
“A first-class inspired romantic romp through the turbulent life of loveable, bumbling flight attendant/writer Hailey Lane. Part Sex and the City, part Plane Insanity, part Portrait of the Artist, this sweet gravity-defying book is as bubbly and welcome as a glass of good champagne.”
–Lori Jakiela, author of Miss New York Has Everything
Book Description
When flight attendant Hailey Lane learns the rest of her trip has been cancelled and she can fly straight home to spend her birthday with her boyfriend Michael, shes thrilled. Theyve been together for three and a half years and shes convinced hes going to propose. But when she walks through the door, the surprise thats waiting for her is not the ring she was expecting. Instead, she finds Michael in a position so compromising her entire future suffers an immediate reroute. Luckily, though, she has shoulders to cry on, unlimited free flight passes, and a job that provides long layovers in exotic destinations where attractive potential mates are just waiting to be discovered.
作者简介
Alyson Noël was born and raised in The OC (although I never actually called it that until the TV show), and attended the Richard Nixon Elementary School for two years—a fact I find both amusing and embarrassing.
After high school, I was desperate to flee suburbia and see the world, so after many trips to Europe I eventually settled in Mykonos, Greece for several years, before moving to Manhattan for several more, where I worked as a Flight Attendant for a major airline and wrote my debut novel, Faking 19, during long weather delays and boring layovers.
Then one day I was visiting a friend in Newport Beach and I met my husband. And it wasn't long before I'd come full circle, setting up house right back in The OC where I live and write full time.
Q & A
Did you always want to be a writer?
Well first I wanted to be a mermaid, and then a princess, but the day I finished my first Judy Blume book I knew I wanted to be a writer. I was always an avid reader, starting with Green Eggs and Ham, and progressing through Charlotte's Web, and all the Little House on the Prairie books. But it was Are you there God? It's me Margaret, and Deenie, that felt like they were written just for me, and my friends, and all the things we were going through. Those books made me realize how a story could be so much more.
What is the one book no writer should be without?
Story, by Robert Mckee. Mine is highlighted, stuffed with post it notes, dog-eared, coffee stained, and autographed (!)—And I couldn't live without it.
Since starting your career as an author, what would you say are some of the most important lessons you've learned?
That I will always panic the week before a new book comes out, and that this is not likely to change.
That the brilliant ideas that stop by in the middle of the night always disappear by morning.
That it's never too late to follow your dream, though there's nothing wrong with getting a head start.
What is your favorite word?
Peace.
What is your least favorite word?
Cancer.
Saturday evening. Going out or reading a book?
Going out for a nice dinner, but still getting home early enough to read before bed!
Holidays. Beach or Mountains?
Even though I live at the beach, I still like to vacation at the beach!
Country or City?
I LOVE big cities! The energy, the shopping, the restaurants!
Watching a movie. Comedy or Drama (or something else)?
Dramedy!
Shy or Easy-going?
Easy going, with the occasional bout of inexplicable shyness.
Serious or Funny?
I'm always looking for the funny!
Traveler or not?
Traveler. Big time.
Sporty or not?
Clumsy, uncoordinated, and so not sporty!
The leader in the group or not?
Always the observer.
Favorite...

我最近读完的这本《时间折叠的裁缝》实在太妙了，它成功地将日常的市井生活与奇特的超自然元素无缝融合，读起来有一种非常温暖而又奇异的“邻家魔幻”感。故事的主角是一个表面上经营着一家普通裁缝店的老人，但他拥有“缝合”时间线的能力——他能将过去、现在和某些可能的未来编织在一起。作者的文笔极其流畅，充满了生活化的幽默和对人情世故的洞察。比如，书中描写老人如何利用一块旧布料来修正一段即将破裂的婚姻，那种将宏大的概念落实到具体、可触摸的物件上的手法，让人拍案叫绝。这本书没有宏大的战争场面，冲突往往发生在餐桌上、缝纫机前，但其带来的情感张力却异常强大。它探讨了“选择”的重量，以及我们如何被自己未曾走过的道路所定义。我特别喜欢其中对于“遗憾”的描写，它不是一个需要被消除的负面情绪，而更像是一种独特的纹理，让生命的故事更加丰富。如果你厌倦了那些高高在上的史诗，渴望在日常的烟火气中寻找一丝魔法的痕迹，这本书绝对能给你带来意想不到的慰藉和思考。
评分要说最近哪本书让我一口气读到了天亮，非《最后的灯塔守》莫属。这是一部极其沉静，但力量感十足的末世小说。故事设定在一个世界能源枯竭、科技全面退化的时代，仅存的人类聚集在少数几个依靠古老技术运作的“灯塔”周围。作者的叙事风格充满了冷峻的美感，像极了冰雪覆盖下的荒原。他没有花大篇幅去解释导致文明崩溃的原因，而是聚焦于幸存者们如何在极端的物质匮乏中，维护那些看似脆弱却又至关重要的传统和希望的象征——灯塔。书中对光线和黑暗的描写达到了近乎偏执的程度，每一次灯塔的光束划破夜空，都像是一次精神上的胜利。主角的内心挣扎，尤其是在面对“是保守地等待消亡，还是冒险去寻找传说中的‘绿色之源’”这一抉择时，处理得非常到位。这本书的后劲很大，它让你反思，在一切外在的便利都被剥夺后，真正支撑人类文明继续下去的，究竟是什么？读完后，你不会觉得沮丧，反而会有一种被净化过的、对生存意志的重新肯定。
评分这本《星尘回响》简直是近些年科幻小说中的一匹黑马，作者构建的世界观宏大而细腻，让人一头扎进去就出不来。故事围绕着一个被遗忘在宇宙边缘的文明遗迹展开，主角团的探索过程充满了意想不到的转折和高能的智力对决。我尤其欣赏作者对于“时间”这一概念的独特诠释，它不再是线性的河流，而更像是一张相互交织的、充满无限可能性的网。书中的科技设定，比如“量子纠缠通讯”和“亚光速航行中的意识上传”，描述得既有深度又不失趣味性，即便是对硬科幻不太感冒的读者，也能被那种扑面而来的宇宙史诗感所震撼。书中对于人性的探讨也十分到位，面对未知的、超越理解的力量，不同角色的反应真实得令人心痛又敬佩。有些地方的场景描绘，比如首次进入那座漂浮在黑洞边缘的晶体城市时，那种宏伟和压抑交织的氛围，我简直能透过文字感受到那冰冷的、亿万年不灭的光芒。读完后，我忍不住合上书，仰望夜空，心中充满了对人类在宇宙中位置的深深思考。这本书不只是一个探险故事，它更像是一部关于存在意义的哲学沉思录，绝对值得反复品读。
评分《镜面迷宫的几何学》这本书简直是一场关于感知与现实边界的狂欢，它充满了后现代主义的思辨色彩和令人眼花缭乱的哲学辩证。作者似乎对“真实”这个概念进行了彻底的解构和重组。故事的主体是一个虚拟现实系统中的“错误代码”引发的连锁反应，但很快，读者就会被带入一个连角色本身都无法分辨何为虚拟、何为“本体”的混沌状态。这本书的语言风格华丽而晦涩，充满了大量的术语和自我指涉的悖论，非常考验读者的专注力，但一旦跟上作者的节奏，那种智力上的满足感是无与伦比的。其中有一章专门讨论了“旁观者效应在信息时代的应用”，其论述的深度和前瞻性令人惊叹。这本书的核心不在于提供答案，而在于提出更深刻、更刁钻的问题，它强迫你质疑你眼睛所见、耳朵所闻的一切。对于那些渴望在阅读中进行深度智力体操的读者，这本书无疑是通往认知迷宫的一张单程票，绝对能让你在读完后对日常的确定性产生一丝美丽的怀疑。
评分《旧日低语》这本书的叙事手法简直是教科书级别的反常规操作，它采取了一种碎片化、多视角的叙事结构，读起来像是在拼凑一个巨大而残破的马赛克拼图。故事的主线似乎围绕着一场跨越数十年的家族秘密展开，但真正的魅力在于那些穿插其中的、看似无关紧要的日记片段、法庭笔录和民间传说。作者非常擅长使用环境和情绪来推动情节，而不是依靠传统的动作场面。比如，书中对一个常年笼罩在薄雾中的小镇的描绘，那种湿冷、霉变的气息几乎要从纸张里渗出来，压抑得让人喘不过气。人物的心理刻画极其深刻，每个人都有着自己的秘密和不可告人的动机，你永远无法完全信任任何一个叙述者，这种不确定性制造了一种持续的紧张感。特别是最后揭示真相的那几页，作者用极其克制甚至平淡的笔触，瞬间引爆了之前所有积累的疑虑和不安，其冲击力远超任何夸张的描写。对于喜欢心理悬疑和文学实验的读者来说，这本书绝对是一次酣畅淋漓的智力挑战和情感洗礼。
