May we talk about how hard this book hit me and moved me to tears multiple times?
Oh, goody!
So, when I was five years old my biological father was supposed to pick me up for Christmas Eve. He did not. He instead called from a bar and said he was too drunk to drive.
About thirty years later he finds me on Facebook and says he wants to have a relationship with me. Weeks go by and he randomly messages me at butt o'clock in the morning to tell me that he was a terrible father and that I probably hated him
And here's the thing! I didn't hate him! I'd gotten what I wanted! My father had acknowledged me! But! It was such a hollow victory because all he wanted was to alleviate his guilt without actually, y'know, alleviating his guilt.
So, along comes this book and its amazing protagonist Danny Warren. Danny is heartbreaking. She feels that her father's neglect is because of her. If only she were more charming and athletic her father might love her enough to stay.

When she's invited to film her father's tv show with him and a teen heart throb, she jumps at the chance.
Unfortunately, the plane crashes and what was supposed to be a fun adventure becomes terrifying and heart-wrenching.
I loved this book. Seriously, please read it.
