This book was very different to what I expected.The fight for survival was very real and the author inspired both sympathy and admiration for the main character.Her mother was equally well portrayed and you could identify with her emotions and determination.I enjoyed this book,I found a few parts a bit unrealistic but I guess that’s poetic licence!It was easy to identify with the anxiety and plight of the main character.I recommend this book.

I couldn't put this book down. Gripping and fast-paced with a twist at the end that I hadn't expected but was totally plausible. The book is good on so many levels - not just the base storyline but as a demonstration of the strength of a parent-child love and what each is prepared to do for each other despite having major conflicts between them to overcome. The true grit of the main characters shows just what people can do in the face of extreme adversity. Highly recommended.

I am so glad that I opted to read this book. Allison is a gritty character who in her short life has faced some difficult times which only comes to light as you get flash backs of previous times over the course of the novel. Maggie is a desperate mother whose love for her only child gives her a separate adventure happening at the same time. Once you get your head around all this, the read is gripping and exciting. This is going to make a great film!
It took a bit of getting used to the publishers way of leaving all 'fi' and 'fl' s out of words in the proof copy but it is amazing how the brain adjusts!

Wow! I’ve just finished this book and I’ve been gripped from the first page until the very last.
Full of twists and unexpected turns it pulls you in for a rollercoaster of a journey.
One of those books that you just can’t put down you just have to read one more page, one more chapter.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for the ARC.
I really enjoyed this book. A gripping opening with the estranged daughter, Allison, making her escape from a plane crash in the mountains; so excellently written that I felt I was experiencing her desperation. Meanwhile on the opposite American coast her mother Maggie receives news that her daughter must have died in the crash, although no body had yet been found, and friends gather to help her through it.
The story unfolds brilliantly through both mother and daughter's thoughts to reveal the events which led to the crash and Allison's overwhelming need to get back to her mother, and her mother's determination to find out all she can about the man in the plane with her daughter.
However, acknowledging that most of these passages provided the background necessary to build up the picture of how the past was now shaping their present actions, I do feel that some were a little lengthy, not entirely necessary and, especially towards the conclusion of the story, were distracting and disruptive to the flow and pace that the writing was generating.
Nevertheless, well worth the read.

Really enjoyed this book although I did guess what was happening. Fast paced & enjoyable read thanks for the preview

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Freefall is a high concept thriller. Told through the perspectives of Allison and Maggie, this follows a plane crash. Allison has survived, and is on the run, but who is she hiding from, and why? In another state Maggie hears about a plane crash and her daughter, Allison’s death alongside Allison’s finance. Maggie hasn’t spoken to her daughter for years due to a fallout, and doesn’t recognise this new Allison. As Maggie starts to dig deeper she realises Allison’s life isn’t as perfect as it seems...But can she save her daughter in time?
This was a fun, blockbuster-type read. It’s pacy and well-plotted, although the villain was a bit cliched. Overall a fun, gripping read.
