Five years late to the craze for this book, but I can see why it was popular. Easy to read while dealing with big subjects such as grief, trauma, and our world‘s strange obsession with tragedy. Tear jerking, thoughtful, and not utterly sad, this was a good read. Needs TW when recommending but I‘ll read more of her work!
pickGood book was a little scary in some parts but really good read

Loved this book. It is story about survival, love and how together we are stronger. A lot of depth. It might be time for a reread.
so-soThis book has some flaws but overall it is decent. I didn't like that we are told right away that Avery and Colin get rescued from the plane crash. It took away from the suspense and urgency when the author was talking about them being stranded. Some of the flashbacks got confusing too.
pickThe ending was a bit pat and sweet following an intense, gut-wrenching novel but I would still recommend.
After a mediocre September, October came and went in a blaze. Several books could have been contenders for my FICTION bracket, but in the end my heart went with the tagged book —which also squeaked past to the quarterfinals in a very heated battle with my July pick. I adore Dennis Lehane, but in the end I leaned slightly towards “Dear Edward.” I think. Ask me again tomorrow. Or better yet —just read both books. 🙂
pickThis book is in two parts; the first tells the story of the 1972 Andean plane crash, which the author survived and then trekked across the mountains for help.
The second part is about how the doctor used his experience, alongside pioneering discoveries, to treat unborn and very young babies with heart conditions.
I‘m using this for #Uruguay for #readingtheamericas23, as that is where the doctor is from; it would work for #Argentina too.
