Wowza! I was not expecting that! I thought I knew where this book was going; I had my theories and felt I was on the right track. I was not even close! I found The Business Trip to be a shocking and well thought out thriller which kept me on my toes! Ever wonder about the people you meet on planes? Do you talk to the person sitting next to you or avoid all conversation? The Business Trip might have you thinking about that the next time you sit next to a stranger on a plane!
Jasmine is fleeing an abusive relationship. Stephanie is going on a business trip to attend a conference. Both find themselves sitting next to each other on a plane. They have never met, they have no common connections, but days later each will send out the same text about the same man to those in their lives.
Jessie Garcia has written nonfiction books prior to writing The Business Trip, her first fiction book. I thought she did a terrific job and had my jaw hanging open at one point in this book. There are quite a few twists, turns and revelations which kept my pages turning and had me fully engaged.
I loved how everything unfolded in the second half of the book. Just when I thought I had a grasp on things, Garcia threw in a HUGE twist which blindsided me. I love it when that happens. I thought she did a great job of throwing readers off while building the suspense.
Well thought out, well written, and shocking!
Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
