Sometimes you just read the right book at the right time. This was THE right time for me to read Drowning. I cried throughout the book and BAWLED, had to stop to blow my nose bawled, through the end of the book. This book was incredible. Wow. No words really. I don’t write reviews anymore but just had to say something on this book. Read it. If you’re a parent, read it. If you’re in love, read it. If you’re a human with emotions, read it.

Loved this fast paced thriller! Read in one day and appreciated starting right when the action starts. Gave me all the feels by the end and found myself holding my breath several times throughout.

T.J. Newman's thrillers keep me on the edge of my seat. Her descriptions of the danger they're in feel so real. She covers the dangers we expect as well as small problems we wouldn't. If you're a scared or nervous flyer, do not read her books; they will make it worse. If you're not and interested in well-paced, nail-biting survival thrillers, check her books out immediately.

Drowning: The Rescue of Flight 1421
By T.J. Newman
Thriller
Published by Simon & Schuster India

Thank you @SIMONANDSCHUSTERIN for a media copy of the book.
T.J. Newman's thriller novel Drowning is an edge-of-your-seat read that will leave you gasping for breath. Set aboard the fictional Coastal Airlines Flight 1421 from Honolulu to San Francisco, this novel tells the harrowing tale of the passengers and crew fighting to survive after the plane suffers catastrophic hydraulic failure shortly after takeoff and is forced to ditch in the ocean south of Molokai.
Newman wastes no time jumping right into the action. Within the first few pages, the left engine of Flight 1421 explodes in a ball of flames. With no hydraulics, the pilots have zero control of the plane. Ditching in the ocean is their only option for survival. The plane impacts the water with tremendous force, breaking into pieces. Passengers who manage to evacuate are faced with massive fires fueled by leaking jet fuel on the surface. Those unable to get out are trapped inside the rapidly sinking aircraft.
And thus begins a desperate race against time as the Coast Guard and Navy scramble all their resources for an incredibly complex rescue mission. The heart-pounding pace never lets up as Newman alternates between three distinct groups: the rescue coordination unfolding on the surface, the terrified passengers fighting to stay alive inside the plane, and a lone passenger's wife who is herself an experienced deep sea diver.
