Anyone else need a flow chart to help them remember all of the characters in this book?

I just read this article about the events this book is based on, it is insane that this actually happened. http://www.nj.com/entertainment/arts/...
I had a hold on this at the library but then opened my PopSugar Must Have box last night and there was a copy inside!! Excited to read it. Tiffany, are you enjoying it aside from too many characters?
I kinda love it. It's super interesting to me especially in the days we live in post 9/11. The way we would have dealt with something like this is so different than how they dealt with it. The jumble of characters gets easier to follow as you read and It gets easier to get attached to new characters as the book progresses.
Is anyone reading this? I just finished it and I cried an embarrassing amount towards the end. It was my favorite book of the year so far.
So I didn't cry but I did really like this book. There was a couple times when I had to flip back to remember who was who but I got the hang of the characters. I feel like one drawback of switching characters so often is that you don't get super in depth. It was interesting how everyone reacted and dealt with the plane crashes but there were a few characters I'd have liked to be in their head more (Natalie for one).
