Worst Case Scenario by T.J. Newman
4.0
Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC!
This is my second T.J. Newman novel, (I've already read Falling), and I've had a fun time with both books. This is a perfect beach or plane book (haha) that feels like a Roland Emmerich disaster movie. That comparison is especially apt in this book where a small town has to come together to deal with a plane that has struck a nuclear plant. If they don't work together they won't be able to stop a nuclear disaster. There are some things that are so unrealistic or aren't perfectly explained but I'd argue that's not the purpose of this book. The stakes are so high and how people act is sometimes cartoonishly one dimensional, but it's still a really fun time.
Maybe don't read this on a plane? Or do, that's totally your choice if you want to freak yourself out.
