Book Feature - The Sky Above Us by Natalie Lund
HBL Note: Chicago author shout-out! Hey Natalie, if you’re reading this, let’s get coffee sometime! But in the meantime, I’m happy to introduce THE SKY ABOVE US, about a group of friends searching for answers following a plane crash. While we are still pretty much grounded and travel hasn’t come back in full force quite yet, now is the time to pick up books like these so that we can read them without finding ourselves on a plan shortly after worrying that the fiction book we just read will become our reality. Does that happen to anyone else? Just me? Scroll down to read more about Natalie Lund’s thriller.
From the publisher:
The morning after their senior year beach party, Izzy, Cass, and Janie are woken by a thundering overhead. Then they and their classmates watch in shock as a plane crashes into the water. When the passengers are finally recovered, they are identified as Izzy's twin brother, Israel, Cass's ex-boyfriend, Shane, and Janie's best friend, Nate. But Izzy can feel when her brother is in pain, and she knows he's not really dead. So she, Cass, and Janie set out to discover what actually happened that day--and why the boys were on the plane.
Told in alternating timelines and points of view, this powerful and captivating novel follows the three boys in the weeks leading up to that fateful flight, and the girls they left behind as they try to piece together the truth about the boys they loved and thought they knew. A spellbinding story about the ripple effects of tragedy, the questions we leave unanswered, and the enduring power of friendship.
