I really enjoyed this book. It seemed like a very accurate depiction of someone with ASD, showcasing the challenges Pippa dealt with daily. Andrew was a perfect counterpoint—patient, understanding, intuitive, gentle and observant. Their flirting was adorable. It was so obvious he was falling for her but he didn't once rush or pressure her into making up her mind. He always gave her space to process and figure things out on her own. Very swoon-worthy!

I loved this book! The cover is so cute and it definitely made me want to read the book and I was not disappointed! It was amazing!

What a darling book! Jo Watson, I love the way you created your characters and their story of love. It was just beautiful.

An extremely fun romantic comedy - I'm almost always looking forward to these types of stories as they're easy to digest amidst more heavier topics. This was my first book by this author and it won't be my last — I enjoyed the banter between the two main characters and I liked their chemistry for the most part.

A fantastic romantic comedy! Although this is the author's first work for me, it won't be my last. That story was adorable! I thought the characters' chemistry was fantastic, and the writing style is excellent. It was incredibly emotional and hilarious at the same time.

I like Jo Watson so I was looking forward to reading her newest book, Love at First Flight. One of the MCs in this novel is autistic who leads an independent life. It made for an interesting read on how she handles friendships, her career, and romance.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.

I thoroughly enjoyed having an ASD representation in this book. It is refreshing as not many books have a character with ASD. It was a cute read and I adored Pippa. She was one of my favorite characters out of all the books I've read this month! I'd love more with her.

This is the 2nd of Jo Watson's books that I've read, I really enjoyed the 1st one (Big Boned) so I was keen to request Love at First Flight. I've challenged myself to read more books set outside of the UK / USA and love the South African setting for Jo's books. I was especially interested in this title as one of the lead characters is autistic and Jo is writing from her own experiences.

As the Mum of a neurodivergent teenager, I find it really refreshing to read about ASD characters who are able to lead independent adult lives with careers, friendships and romantic relationships. Of course, life is tricky with the extra social barriers (and other people's prejudices) but it gives me hope.

Pippa was a really likeable character and I recognised a lot of her social struggles. I loved that her neurodivergence was shown to be a bonus in some situations and that she could find someone who loved her just as she was.

A solid 4/5.

No leí la primera versión, por lo que no tengo idea de cuáles fueron los cambios en esta nueva.

Todo el libro está narrado desde la perspectiva de Pippa, lo que puede hacerlo un poco pesado de leer. Me hubiera gustado tener algunos capítulos con povs de Andrew.

Me gustó cómo se desarrolló la relación, especialmente cómo Andrew logró que Pippa se fuera abriendo y confiando en él poco a poco.

Por momentos, Pippa me desesperó; sin embargo, al final, la intención es mostrar cómo su 'diferencia' puede llegar a irritar a las personas, las cuáles al no entenderla llegan a ser groseras con ella, generándole inseguridades. Esta parte es importante, ya que deja la enseñanza o mas bien el recordatorio de que no debemos olvidar ser empáticos y educados con los demás.

3.75/5 stars! This book is beyond cheesy, but somehow it works really well. There's a fake dating plot and a super cute meet cute. I do wish the characters had more depth at time, but overall, and enjoyable first read by this author.

Flight controller, Pippa, has always been a bit of an odd duck. Being neurodiverse has made dating in a neurotypical world extremely hard for her. But then she meets Captain Andrew in person, after hearing his voice for years. Pippa is on her way to her high school reunion when the pair meet. And suddenly Andrew is coming with her as her fake date. And Pippa and Andrew end up in a fake relationship so get their parents off their backs. But the lines between fake and real dating start to blur as Pippa and Andrew grow feelings for one another. Pippa struggles with her autism, wondering if once Andrew finds out he’ll no longer be interested. She worries that he realize Pippa quirkiness isn’t so cute after all.

I think was my favorite book this year. It was laugh out loud funny but also so emotionally deep. I loved seeing the world through Pippa’s neurodiverse lens. I could really understand how hard picking up social cues and interacting was for her, but could also see how deeply she cared about those around her. This books definitely gave me a better insight to how some people see the world. The romance was also unbearably sweet. I was constantly kicking my feet! I can’t wait to read more from this author!
