The Gravity of Missing Things by Marisa Urgo -> Starting May 21st, 2022

[Alaina]

Flight 133 disappeared over the ocean. No wreckage. No distress signal. Just gone.

Suddenly, everyone on the news and social media is talking about whether the pilot intentionally crashed it—everyone but me. Because I know her. The pilot was my mom, and there's no way she would hurt anyone. No one else knows that before she left, she wrote me a note. Trust me, it said.

Now it feels like someone split my world—and me—in two, and the only person who believes me is Landon. I want to trust him, to let him see who I really am, but I can't. I have my secrets, the same way Mom has hers. All I know is falling for him will only make things more complicated.

Just as I start to open up, the answer to what really happened to Flight 133 could rip my world apart all over again—for good this time.

starting this today!

[Alaina]

Woohoo! I'll be a little late to this one. I have 2 ARCs to read before this one.

[Haley]

no worries! I'm reading for a challenge and the deadline is in 2 days :)) haha

[Haley]

ch 1 - 6 (view spoiler)[ I feel like Samantha and the dad lost hope quite quickly... they already think the mom is dead and it's only been 3 days?? I personally would wait a week before thinking anything like that, but that's just me.

also the dog's name... onion LOL I love that (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Going to start this tomorrow!!

[Haley]

Yayy! So far I’m liking it! Definitely a mystery
Ch 7-9 (view spoiler)[ I have a prediction. I wonder if Alex is dating Samantha? Blonde hair?? Hmmm maybe I’m just reading too far in (hide spoiler)]

[Haley]

ch 10-18 (view spoiler)[ kind of surprised the FBI agent is allowing Violet to ride around in her car, but it's nice how she has a personal connection to the plane disappearance as well.

Landon is the SWEETEST boy!!

biggest question: WHERE IS the plane?? I have a feeling the plane and everyone inside is going to be found dead (hide spoiler)]

[Haley]

ch 19 -21 (view spoiler)[ i wasn't expecting the doctor to be her father!! wow the affair was going on for much longer than expected.

also happy Ashley didn't get that part... she didn't deserve it! (hide spoiler)]

[Haley]

finished (view spoiler)[ I LOVED loved this book!! It tackled some mental health issues and even though it wasn't the happiest of happy endings. It ended warmly. Poor Violet had to deal with not only her mother's death, but the family on her dad's side possibly not loving her because she's not related to them by blood.

The ending when Violet could see her mom really warmed my heart and it was good closure for her. I'll be reading more books by this author for sure!! (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Ch 1-9: (view spoiler)[Wow. Her sister and dad started going down the "Mom is dead" path pretty freaking early on. Not a fan of that. Still hoping that she is alive and maybe the plane did have trouble. Also, is Alex possibly seeing Savannah? Not sure yet but I'm thinking that right now. (hide spoiler)]

Yeah, that was really weird to me.

Ch 7-9 [spoilers removed]"

LOL I was thinking the same exact thing!

[Alaina]

Ch 10-18: (view spoiler)[Okay, they are totally together. Alex bringing ALL of her favorite things? Yeah, that's the proof I needed. I also just want to know where the plane is. Hot damn. Hope they can find it. Maybe someone's alive but right now... not sure. (hide spoiler)]

I feel like she wouldn't be working the investigation if she had personal connection, right? Could be wrong though.

[Alaina]

Ch 19-26: (view spoiler)[As someone who doesn't like talking in front of people, I would GLADLY be a fork lol. Or the wolf. Doesn't matter to me. Also, sad that they found the pieces of the plan but happy to know it wasn't her mom's fault. Never thought it was but it's nice to get closure. Definitely sucks that her dad isn't her dad though. Wasn't expecting that! (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Haley wrote: "ch 19 -21 "

Definitely wasn't expecting that reveal!

[Alaina]

Ch 27-Finish: (view spoiler)[Wow. This was really good. I'm glad that everything is out in the open. I'm also not surprised her dad knew and he still loved her anyways. I feel like most people wouldn't do what he did. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Haley wrote: "finished ..."

Yeah, I liked how it ended as well.

(view spoiler)[ I found it so funny that it was possible to even be a fork in the play lol. & I agree with the closure it was needed... (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I don't think many people would do what her dad did.. I feel like they would blame the mother and take it out on their daughter. so happy he didn't (hide spoiler)]
