Review: Complicated, yes, but also hilarious

Lost in Flight is a sexy contemporary romance that is also the first book of a series, so the characters' stories are not fully wrapped up at the end (for readers who care about that aspect).Dina and Riley, the hero and heroine of this book, fell in love, married young, and eventually tore themselves apart. We see the history of their relationship in flashbacks after they have once again come together in the present, where they repeat their old pattern of mad passion punctuated by drama and bickering. It's a familiar romantic plot, but the author incorporates many charming and unique twists.The emotion in the story feels authentic, and there are some hilarious laugh-out-loud moments. The supporting cast, consisting of best friends, brothers, sisters, and one particularly smarmy adversary, are well-developed and fun to have around.I was a little confused at first by the many flashbacks and leaps in the timeline. There were also some rapid point of view changes, although these were always clearly marked.This was an engaging read, full of entertaining moments, witty phrases, hot love scenes, and apt pop culture references. I expect many readers will be waiting impatiently for more of the romantic adventures of Dina, Riley, and their friends.
