The Gravity of Missing Things

“The truth isn’t always going to be handed to you. Sometimes, you have to fight for it.”

Officially, her plane is still missing somewhere in the Atlantic. Unofficially, news reporters all over the world say she was a suicidal terrorist and crashed it into the sea, killing 155 people. But I know better. My mom could never hurt anyone.

The day the plane disappeared, she left me a note. She has a plan. It said I am asking you to trust me. She understands me and my secrets in a way my sister and my dad never could. She’s the only one who gets it, because we are the same. If I retrace her steps, I can solve this.

But then Landon shows up. He’s sweet and thoughtful and auditioning for the play that I’m designing the set for. It’s tempting to lose myself with him, forget that my life’s a hot mess and everything’s in shambles. I can’t be with him though. I can’t be with anyone until I find out the truth.

Mom didn’t crash the plane on purpose. She didn’t crash it at all. I think she’s still alive.
And I will prove it. Product Info

A pitch-perfect and inclusive coming-of-age drama perfect for fans of Kathleen Glasgow.

Flight 133 disappeared over the ocean. No wreckage. No distress signal. Just gone.

Suddenly, everyone on the news and social media is talking about whether the pilot intentionally crashed it—everyone but me. Because I know her. The pilot was my mom, and there's no way she would hurt anyone. No one else knows that before she left, she wrote me a note. Trust me, it said.

Now it feels like someone split my world—and me—in two, and the only person who believes me is Landon. I want to trust him, to let him see who I really am, but I can't. I have my secrets, the same way Mom has hers. All I know is falling for him will only make things more complicated.

Just as I start to open up, the answer to what really happened to Flight 133 could rip my world apart all over again—for good this time.
