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.

- Shortly after takeoff, Flight 1421 crashes into the Pacific Ocean. In the process of evacuating, 12 passengers end up remaining onboard the plane, which proceeds to sink 200 feet underwater. They try to remain alive, while a rescue team tries to save them.
- Usually, books are so much better than movies, but this is one that I think would be a better cinematic experience.
- This is completely plot-driven with no real character development. The characters are all very flat & one-dimensional. I wasn’t into the writing style either.
- I do think the author did a lot of research, and I have read she is a former flight attendant as well. Kudos to her. But, I personally felt like the book was way too technical, and the technical plane descriptions didn’t serve a lot of purpose.
- Despite using fancy aviation lingo, the book is really hard to visualize. It felt like I was reading a manual in some parts.
- The premise is an interesting one, but the execution is lacking for me.
- The book is soooo predictable, and it is completely unbelievable.

This is a very well written story and the audiobook narration by Steven Weber and Laura Benanti was top notch. Their ability to inhabit the unique personalities of the distinctive characters really brought the story to life, especially as there are many emotionally charged situations that required thoughtful delivery in order to avoid being overly dramatic.
I highly recommend the book in any format and will be on the lookout for more from this author!
