The Private Jet

"Sarah Goodwin is the queen of the survival thriller. The Private Jet is an exquisite parcel of danger and heart-racing suspense." DANDY SMITH

THE HIGHER YOU FLY…

In the dazzling lights of Thailand, socialite Lila Wilde is set for the night of her life. When her fame-hungry DJ boyfriend proposes at an exclusive nightclub, Lila makes a spur-of-the-moment decision: she invites a mix of celebrities, influencers, and near-strangers to keep the party going back at her luxurious villa — just a short flight over the lush Thai jungle. Champagne flows, music pulses, and the vibe on her private jet is nothing short of euphoric.

THE HARDER YOU FALL.

But when disaster strikes mid-flight, the dream turns into a nightmare and the group are stranded in an unforgiving jungle, far from the world of luxury they know. What begins as a desperate fight for survival quickly descends into something darker. Secrets are exposed and power dynamics shift, as the stranded passengers begin to realize the greatest threat might not be the jungle — but each other.

Some parties are unforgettable…this one might be deadly.

The Book to Read After Stranded!

I loved Stranded by Sarah Goodwin and this is an amazing second favorite after that one (I also really enjoyed The Resort and The Yacht, but not as much the 13th Girl). I liked how it flipped between present day, an interview right after the rescue, and during the time on the island. Amazing character development / background where you get to see that people are complicated and not all good or all bad (mostly!). Kind of like watching Yellowjackets but the characters are a mix of socialites, celebrities, and local kids “lucky” enough to be at a club in Thailand one night. Definitely recommend and can’t wait until the next book releases in 2026!

Imagine if that was yourself trying to survive

This audio book was so good and I think would make a really good movie!

Never lost interest

I absolutely loved this book! I couldn't wait to dive back into it every time I took a break. The main character may not have been the most likable, but that's totally fine. The book was so well written and had just the perfect amount of detail.

I was very excited to hear when this book was going to come out and it did not disappoint.

I loved everything about this book. Especially seeing how the characters transitioned to their different person during the crash in the jungle. Exciting, never know what to expect and keep you on the edge of your seat.

An adventure!

Very entertaining story! Likable characters, some misbehaving, interesting group dynamics, wild life, perseverance, and a whole lot of drama!
