Well, this book sucked.
Okay I’m going to try not to be 100% negative. But no, I didn’t enjoy this book.
This book was an average, three star, lacklustre thriller until I got to the end and it’s star rating took a nose dive out of the sky. Get it? Because they were in a plane crash? Ok…

So the book takes place from two perspectives, Lori and her sister Erin’s. As our story goes on I began to like Lori, she was resilient as all hell. But I never got attached to Erin, her character just wasn’t very interesting to me. So I spent her side of the book feeling quite detached. 
The pacing was a bit all over the place, if it were me I probably would have cut it down by 100 pages and made the pacing a bit more dicey!  
As I said I hated the ending, but not everyone will! 
Basically I thought this book sucked but I don’t wanna make out that this is the worst book I’ve ever read or anything. It’s not even the worst I’ve read all year!
