How To Fly
Who are you when you are not being ‘good’?
Twenty-nine-year-old Chelsea Pearl is thrown for a loop when her therapist asks her that one simple question. Always a helper, Chelsea isn’t one for self-reflection. She’s fooled herself into believing that planning social events for graduate students at elite Swank University and hanging out with friends is enough. But is it? Even her two best friends—Raquel, a globe-trotting stunt woman, and Matteo, a former love interest—are worried about her lately.
Chelsea’s most challenging student, Ivana Volkov, has issues of her own and isn’t into Chelsea’s so-called help. When Chelsea finally meets a great guy, her ability to keep playing by the rules is threatened. He’s off-limits, and she risks losing her job. But if she doesn’t take a chance, she fears she’ll stay stuck and miss out on growing into who she is really meant to be.
If things are ever going to take off for her, Chelsea needs to get honest, get over herself, and admit that life is way more fun when she’s not being so good.
How to Fly is a love letter to late bloomers and anyone who feels like they are somehow bad at life. It’s proof that it’s never too late to come of age and be more than just good.

I personally enjoyed this book. It was an easy read, and I identified with the characters because who at 29/30 doesn't feel like they're drifting through life. Heck, at 44 I still feel that way. I hope there's a sequel because I would love to hear what happens with Ivy and Chelsea in the future
