Many thanks to NetGalley, Dial Press, and Ann Napolitano for the opportunity to read this wonderful book - 5 stars for an uplifting read!
The Adler family, consisting of dad, mom and two boys - Jordan and Eddie, are preparing to leave NYC for LA, where their mom has a writing job. We meet some of the other passengers of this flight before we learn that the plane crashes, 191 people die, and Eddie is the sole survivor. After recovering in the hospital, Eddie (now Edward) goes to live with his mom's sister and her husband, Laney & John, in New Jersey.
This is the story of survival - Edward doesn't know how to exist in the world without his family, and especially without his older brother. This is also the story of all those who helped him gain his footing in his new world, especially neighbor, Shay, and his aunt and uncle.
I loved these characters - Edward and Shay of course, but also the cast of characters we meet, in alternating chapters, who were on the flight. Lots of life lessons here and a wonderful ending to this story.
