If I hadn't seen the author photo in the back, I would have thought this was written by a man, because it's such a "dad book". So this wasn't totally for me but I can definitely see other audiences enjoying it more.

Literally anyone in the middle east = suicide terrorist
When I started reading it, I had to double check the publication date, it looked like something that would come out in 2001, not 2021. Where was T. J. Newman on January 6?

Newman did a great job humanizing the "bad guys" and demonstrating the complex emotions that can paralyze people in crisis. Her decision to include the aftermath and trauma of survival levels the story up above the typical beach read.

Content: excessive cursing imo. Many F bombs. No sexual content and no graphic violence. His family is threatened but not even descriptive enough to tug on my heart strings.

The first line immediately pulls you in.
“When the shoe fell into her lap the foot was still in it.”
The imagery throughout was so good. The book truly kept me on the edge on my chair. Any time I picked it up, I sped through it.
I loved how the author put in real details and only tweaking certain things on the plane that only flight attendants would know.
I kept coming up with questions like “what would I do?” Or “would I have thought about that as an option?”
Please look at ALL the trigger warnings before reading! Hands down one of the best thrillers I’ve read.
