4.5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫
The events that unfolded on September 11, 2001, caused a reaction, and we are still living with those repercussions to this day. This book, although fictitious, reminded me just how tragic that day was for so many people.
Fear...
Death...
Grief...
Pain...
This novel did a great job on portraying what the victims and survivors in the towers would have went through. It's told through back-and-forth timelines following two young characters from opposite ends of the earth. Although this book is catered to younger audiences, it packs a huge punch that people of all ages can get something out of.

"I learned a long time ago that it's not 'us against the world'...It's all of us, together. For each other."
