Love Me Anyway

“A debut novel, both funny and sad, from a former flight attendant, about two flight attendants. The chapters that describe the work conditions and requirements of the service end of flying will have readers laughing out loud. The chapters that delve into the painful past experiences of the two young women who took to the skies to find happier futures will draw tears…. Readers will find the book's two heroines well worth knowing.” –Kirkus

“A fascinating snapshot of an industry seldom explored in fiction.” –Publishers Weekly

"Yes, it’s as irresistible as a non-stop flight to Paris, but Love Me Anyway is also an unexpectedly haunting look at loneliness, the struggle for love, belonging and independence, and how to keep two feet on the ground even when you’re thousands of miles in the sky."

--Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of Pictures of You

“Love Me Anyway knocked me out. While it's true that the last book I read about flight attendants was Coffee, Tea or Me? in the sixth grade, I wasn't prepared for the emotional depth and unsparing candor Tiffany Hawk brings to her poignant debut novel. By creating fully dimensional characters with rich, complex lives, Hawk elevates this coming-of-age tale to an indelible portrait of women striving to better themselves."

--Jillian Medoff, bestselling author of I Couldn't Love You More and Hunger Point

"Love Me Anyway is so much more than an inside look at the life of flight attendants. Dark, funny, beautifully written and continually surprising, Hawk follows two lonely women who don a uniform and take to the skies to find independence, and maybe themselves in the process. Not only impossible to put down, this one sticks with you long after you close the final pages."

--Julie Buxbaum, author of The Opposite of Love and After You

“Love Me Anyway is a funny, sharp and touching look at a time in our lives when most of us are up in the air -- some more literally than others. It reminded me, in the best way, that no matter how far-flung our searching takes us, we're all looking for the same thing.”

--Lauren Fox, author of Friends Like Us and Still Life with Husband

“Tiffany Hawk’s sparkling debut novel is a deeply felt and deeply funny look at a couple of female flight attendants as they search for love and meaning, and try to fit their emotional baggage into the overhead compartment.”

--Mark Haskell Smith, author of Baked

"A finely observed, richly drawn look into the life in and below the not-always-friendly skies. Hawk deftly balances the funny, the painful and the tender, and you will be hard-pressed not to connect with her characters. It feels like your best friend is a flight attendant, and she's letting you in on her darkest secrets. Buckle yourself into the jump seat and you won't put the book down until you land."

--Elizabeth Crane, author of We Only Know So Much and You Must Be This Happy to Enter
