This was a beautiful, character-driven, coming of age story. Edward is our narrator, but we also get a glimpse of how the plane crash shaped Edward and the lives of his Aunt Lacey, Uncle John, and best friend Shay. I particularly loved how the glimpses into his fellow travelers' lives from the dual timeline were interwoven into the present.
While this quote refers to being the sole survivor of the plane crash, it is one that I think it applicable to many of life challenges.
“Edward. It lives under your skin. It’s not going away. It’s part of you and will be part of you every moment until you die. What you’ve been working on, since the first time I met you, is learning to live with that.”
