I’d been wanting to read this for a long time now, but waited until after I’d taken several flights and had no more in the near future because, well, duh. This book is like your worst fears come to life, and the way Newman wrote it, it’s so scarily accurate. Not to mention, one of the main characters in this nightmare situation was named Shannon, so that only furthered how immersive the novel was to begin with.
Alas, it was an incredible book. You’ll want to read it all in sitting, if possible. I’ve always found the stories behind disaster scenarios fascinating and this one was well-researched and supported to really make you understand what it would be like in real life.

I could not put this one down. I read Falling a couple of years ago and liked it so when I saw this, I immediately borrowed it on my kindle. I loved this so much. I enjoyed every single character in this story and was kept on the edge of my seat the entire time. It’s very rare that a book makes me cry, but this made me cry multiple times. And THE ENDING!!!!! I didn’t expect it at all.
This is one I’m going to purchase just so I can have it in my book collection.

Would I read it again, I don’t know. That’s why I scored it a 4/5. The multiple POV’s didn’t help as it took me a few chapter to get into the grove of it but I am so glad I read it.
Warning: there are several f words but they were not overtly done.
