About this listen

A BOOK OF THE YEAR IN TIME, VOX, AND VULTURE

'Batty and brilliant'
THE TIMES

'Truly original . . . deeply weird, deeply funny and deeply felt'
DAILY TELEGRAPH

'Very strange and very funny'
GUARDIAN

'Audaciously imagined. Slyly executed. Surprisingly tender. Deliciously weird'
RACHEL YODER, author of NIGHTBITCH

'This book is a dog whistle for the true freaks - never have I felt so seen! I loved it'
RITA BULLWINKEL, author of Booker Prize-longlisted HEADSHOT

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.©2025 Kate Folk (P)2025 Hodder & Stoughton Limited

What in the name of jet fuel did I just listen to?
I thought I’d heard it all—until this woman started talking about dating a plane. Not a pilot. Not a man who works near planes. No. The plane itself.

From “having some fun” on a flight to stashing plane rubble in her knickers, this book went from quirky to unhinged in record time—and I was here for every minute.

Kristen Sieh, the narrator? An absolute pro. I genuinely don’t know how she made it through that recording without bursting out laughing. I’d have been face-down on the sound booth floor.

Honestly, Sky Daddy is bizarre, funny, unhinged, and just self-aware enough to make it entertaining rather than off-putting. It takes kink to a whole new altitude—literally.

Just… listen to it. You may question your life choices, but at least you’ll do it with a smile.

Love at first flight… literally

An odd book for sure but a good performance, quirky with funny and sad bits and an ending that leaves you with questions.

I think like a lot of books it really depends on what you’re looking for.
I was drawn to the premise of this story, I mean, it is very weird. But it’s got such a charm to it and I found myself really relating to Linda at certain points. I found her day-to-day life enjoyable to listen to and her commentary intriguing. She’s obviously an unconventional protagonist but she’s still so likeable.
If you like something a little strange then this is the book for you.
If you’re looking for something a little different to your usual ‘friendship’ and ‘finding oneself’ stories then I’d really recommend this.
Haven’t been so moved by a book in a while now and I found the whole read really refreshing.
Excellent performance as well :)

An unprecedented, unique story
