Welcome to Litsy!

So fun to read another book by JR Lennon - this is his first novel, and you can already see his talent for absurd plot details and creating expertly drawn characters. He uses a tragic plane crash to explore personal tragedies and grief in the lives of people affected by the event. I hope he writes another book soon because I‘ll be really sad when I‘ve read all of his backlist!

On October 19, 1984, a small commuter plane crashed in northern Alberta, killing 6. Four men survived. This tells the story of the crash and how it happened, their experiences before rescue, the aftermath, then follows the men for over 20 years. It‘s terrific narrative nonfiction and an excellent read.

“And I remember that moment, when I knew. That you‘d broken loose in me the stuff that only love breaks loose.”

A private jet with eleven passengers takes off from Martha's Vineyard on its way to New York. Sixteen minutes later, it crashes into the ocean. The only survivors are Scott, the artist who was invited along at the last minute because he was meeting with art galleries in NY, and JJ, the 4 year old son of one of the wealthy couples on the plane. ⬇️

Good book was a little scary in some parts but really good read

Loved this book. It is story about survival, love and how together we are stronger. A lot of depth. It might be time for a reread.

This book has some flaws but overall it is decent. I didn't like that we are told right away that Avery and Colin get rescued from the plane crash. It took away from the suspense and urgency when the author was talking about them being stranded. Some of the flashbacks got confusing too.
