The Speed of Falling Objects by Nancy Richardson Fischer
5.0
I received this as an eARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Danny’s father has been absent from her life, ever since the accident where she lost one of her eyes. Danny is desperate to have a relationship with her father and wants him to know that she doesn’t blame him for the accident. Her father is a Bear Grylls, who travels with celebs into treacherous situations and works to survive. Danny knows that she isn’t as brave as her father, and in fact she knows (especially in her father’s eyes) she is a coward. When her father offers to bring her with him and a teen heart throb to the Amazon rainforest to film an episode, Danny knows it is her perfect chance for getting back in her father’s life. Things become all too real when their flight to the Amazon crashes and they must survive and find their way back to civilization.
This book had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Danny was such a well-developed character with real layers. She had believable faults and skills. I can’t wait to read more by this author.
