This was… okay. The story gripped me at least a little, but the characters were not interesting and the writing style was self-important and pompous. It was an interesting premise that culminated in a boring, unbelievable twist. Not great. I struggled to get through it only to have a disappointing ending.

I honestly don't know what do say about this.

The characters of Scott and JJ are absolutely amazing, and the relationship between them due to the trauma of a random event.

The book is a little slow in the middle as it goes into three different people involved and how it happened that they were on the plane.

Overall, AMAZING book.
