Produktbeschreibung

'Audaciously imagined. Slyly executed. Surprisingly tender. Deliciously weird' RACHEL YODER, author of NIGHTBITCH 'Buckle up, it's one hell of a ride' LITERARY HUB, Most anticipated books of 2025 'Get your boarding pass out and get ready for some turbulence. Sky Daddy is insane' GARY SHTEYNGART, author of OUR COUNTRY FRIENDS 'A dog whistle for the true freaks - never have I felt so seen! I loved it' RITA BULLWINKEL, author of the Booker Prize-longlisted HEADSHOT 'Breathtakingly audacious' LING MA, author of Severance Linda makes $20 an hour as a content moderator, flagging comments that violate a tech conglomerate's terms and conditions. Each night, she returns to the windowless room in a garage that she rents from a family who pretend she isn't there. But once a month, she escapes to San Francisco International Airport for a clandestine meeting on the cheapest flight out that night. Linda's secret is that she's sexually attracted to planes: their intelligent windscreens, sleek fuselages and powerful engines make her feel a way that no human lover ever could. Linda believes her destiny is to someday 'marry' one of her suitors by dying in a plane crash, a catastrophic event that would unite her with her soulmate plane for eternity. So when her co-worker Karina invites her to join a group of women using vision boards to manifest their desires, she can't resist the chance to hasten her romantic fate. However, as the vision boards seem to manifest items more quickly - and more literally - than Linda had expected, the carefully balanced elements of her life begin to spin out of her control, and she must choose between maintaining the trappings of normalcy or launching herself headlong towards her greatest dream.
