Do not walk, but RUN to get this book. Gripping from the start. Unpredictable. Thrilling. Tear jerker. On the edge of my seat. Just, wow. I am speechless. The writing was great, descriptive without going over the top, and the research and knowledge TJ Newman had to put in this… I am impressed and will be recommending this book to everyone!

This book leaves me speechless. Talk about having people's two worst fears in one book. Will and Shannon (Will's daughter) are on a trip to drop Shannon off to a two week camp. Chris (Shannon's mother) didn't want Will to go since Shannon is getting older and can travel by herself. Will and Shannon barely take off from Hawaii when the plane goes down while flying over the ocean. Will and 12 other passengers realize they need to get back into the plane, so they don't die of smoke inhalation. As hours tick by, Chris makes the plans to remove the passengers from the plane as their oxygen pocket is diminishing and CO2 poisoning is setting in. Do they survive?

Needs to be a movie asap. Read it front to back in one go, already had me crying at 40 pages.

What an amazing thrilling read! I had the pleasure of listening to the audiobook and it was fast paced, edge of your seat, AMAZING!

It has been awhile since I have read a thriller, but Drowning by T.J. Newman reminds me of why I love this genre! I started and finished this book in one day, it was that good!

I am not going to spoil the plot, but I will say this...LISTEN TO THE AUDIOBOOK! You will find yourself up and pacing, like I was. You will find yourself getting mad at whoever thinks it is ok to interrupt you while you are listening to this book!!

Thank you to Avid Reader Press, Simon & Schuster Audio, Netgalley and T.J. Newman for the eARC, Finished Copy and ALC of this book in exchange for my honest review. 5⭐
