Oh my gosh. What a fucking bummer. I am glad that Edward or Eddy found happiness but that was the most difficult book to get through. Also I should preface this with I hate flying and I am deeply scared of dying in a plane crash and I think that definitely affected my review of this novel. Also being the sole survivor of anything has to be so difficult. I think the thing I found most interesting was her motivation for writing this book and that little Dutch boy that was the only survivor of his plan crash. It was cool the juxtaposition of eddys survival against the backdrop of the plane people final moments. That gave it an extra star.
