The Gravity of Missing Things

The unexpected happens when the plane that Violet's mom is flying, disappears. How does a plane just disappear? What happened to her mom and all the people on board?

Soon, the media descends upon Violet and her family and the world as she knows it shrinks and becomes unbearable. People are saying the most horrible things about her mom but she knows her mom is innocent and would never intentionally hurt herself, or anyone else. Right?

Oh man, what a heart wrenching story. Grief is hard and has so many different layers. I couldn't imagine going through something like this as a teen and I think this would be good for those who may be experiencing grief. Despite being fiction, there is a lot here for someone to digest and take away from.

I really enjoyed this author's writing too. Easy flow, deep emotion and well-rounded and real characters. The added mystery of what happened to the plane added to the overall story and made for an interesting element. While not necessarily a “fun” read, this was nevertheless enjoyable.

I sincerely appreciate Entangled Teen for providing me with a review copy. All opinions expressed herein are mine and mine alone.
