This book had me from the beginning. Edward is the sole survivor of a plane crash that took his parents and brother, and 189 other people. The story has many different point of views but the most haunting is the minute-by-minute chapters of the crash itself. The majority of the story is told through the eyes of Edward as he adjusts to life after the crash as best he can as a 12 year old. Beautifully told and really grips you from the get-go to the ending.
