The ending gave me goosebumps. 

This book follows two women of very different backgrounds who find themselves running for their lives and colliding in a "chance" meeting. The plan is to simply switch places... that is, until the plane Claire was supposed to be on crashes.

TW: domestic violence, domestic abuse

This follows Claire, who is running from her rich and powerful but abusive husband, and Eva, who has found herself in trouble after being kicked out of college. 

This book follows an interesting timeline, primarily following Claire in real-time and Eva in her time leading up to the plane crash. This allows the reader to follow Eva's choices leading up to the swap, and how Claire deals with this incredible pivot in her life. 

This book is incredibly plot-driven with a slew of rich character development. This book definitely included some twists, but was a fairly straight-forward plot. I saw a couple surprises along the way, and a very bittersweet ending. It was an emotional roller-coaster but I loved every second.
