Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This was the most disappointing read I have experienced in a very long time. I won't give away any actual spoilers but I will provide some "situationals" for clarification. The author expects us to believe that a teenager of 15 is able to skip school and take a cab to New York, pay a fortune teller and see his brothers girlfriend, and take a cab back home but this same teen has no job and no income. He also is allowed at the age of 12 to walk over the neighbors and sleep on the floor of the girl next door (every single night), who apparently has no say so even though she declares it "weird" because her grandmother views this as a blessing since 'she doesn't have any friends'. And the unrealistic settings don't stop on the ground. Take for one example the First Class flight attendant who contemplates gender bias in her paycheck as easily as she finds herself suddenly having sex in the bathroom with a stranger at 35,000 ft. But by far the biggest problem with the story is the authors pushing the narrative that anyone would care about a plane crash, no matter how horrific, 3-4 years after the event to the extent that they would write to Edward giving him life advice (there is more to that aspect but that would be giving out actual spoilers). You only need to watch the news today to understand that unless we are personally involved in the event, we move on from tragedy rather quickly as a species. And honestly, that is the biggest problem with this book - the unbelievable character actions don't connect us enough to any of them, let alone Edward, to keep us personally involved enough to care.
