I don’t know where to begin with the review. I tried to like this novel, read as much as I could. But some of it was either too cliché or just downright embarrassing.
I certainly couldn’t give it one star as that seems out-right cruel, but two stars is far, far too generous.
The premise is that a young woman who is seemingly perfect decides to do something she has a strong fear of – flying. Or she’s rather pushed into it by her soon-to-be fiancé. No wonder some have said “how to say no” would be more appropriate. While I get her fiancé was trying to help her overcome a fear – pushing her into doing something, when he wasn’t really licensed to do it is another situation entirely.
As fate would have it (and her fears), the plane crashes and leaves her scarred and “imperfect” (according to her mother).
Maggie’s mother can’t seem to accept facts, the estranged sister Kit shows up asking for forgiveness, and the perfect fiancé can’t seem to cope with the results of his actions.
One of the plot twists involving another character was, to me, quite cliché. I don’t want to give it away, but those who’ve read the book understand about Ian.
This was my first introduction to the author and I’m certainly glad I got to borrow the book before buying.
