Passengers board a typical short flight that suddenly experiences some delays. No one is happy about the delays and tensions are high when suddenly a woman rises from her seats and predicts everyone’s age of death and cause of death. When the flight finally takes off and lands at their destination, no one is the same as they were before the flight. And the lady predicting the deaths? Who is she?

Thank you, Crown Publishing and Liane Moriarty, for gifting me an ebook copy of this novel in exchange for a fair and honest review. All thoughts here are mine.

I was really unsure about what this book was going to be about, but I can tell you that I greatly enjoyed reading this book. On The StoryGraph and Goodreads, the genre is listed as thriller, but I consider this book contemporary fiction. There is an air of mystery, but thriller is the wrong term. 

An aspect of this book that I really liked was the multiple point-of-views. There were several characters that were followed and I was fully invested in each of their lives. I definitely recommend this to everyone as I can see it becoming a must-read. The themes and heavy topics discussed in this book, such as grief, life, and death, are part of reality and important for people to read and give thought to.
