I can safely say I am obsessed with T.J. Newman's writing. She does such a great job at character building and really makes you connect with the characters in her books. As a fellow aviation girly, I also love that she has past experience in the aviation world and feel it really helps to make the stories feel so REAL.

'Falling' is one of my favorite books ever, so this had a lot to live up to and I feel it fell a *bit* short comparitively, but I still LOVED this. It was so suspenseful and kept me guessing 'til literally the very end. I typically don't cry from books and this one had my tearing up. My only issue is I felt there were a few too many characters working the rescue and really struggled to keep them straight. Regardless, YOU MUST READ THIS!!

I don’t know if it’s because I am an aviation nerd or because this author is just so experienced, well researched or has a crazy imagination, but this book was phenomenal! I really liked T.J Newmans first book Falling, but she has definitely levelled up! This book was brutal, she did not hold back but it was one of those books you just CANNOT put down. Hooked from start to finish. One of the things I love the most is how accurate everything is, her experience as a flight attendant has left everything aviation related absolutely flawless, this one also involved some diving and again, she has clearly done her research! But even if it wasn’t 100% accurate, it’s still a fiction book afterall! Wow sorry for the long review but I just loved this book. Although I should add, if you’re easily scared and alrwady a nervous flier, I probably wouldn’t recommend this book!

This author really takes the time to do a lot of research for her novels. The engineering and scientific facts about the rescue effort are impressive and really kept the book interesting while also informative. Would be a fantastic movie.
