Considering the subject matter, this book should have been fascinating, but unfortunately, it made for a slow read. I had hoped it would get better, but it did not.

I recall both of the tragedies Rossana discusses in the new book. I have an uncle who was a pilot for a commercial airline. I found this story to be informative and enjoyable, even though it deals with grief. I appreciated the honesty and authenticity from the author. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

26 Seconds by Rossana D’Antonio is a deeply personal account of the author’s search for answers in the wake of her brother’s death in the crash of an airliner that he was piloting. Her commitment to finding answers is admirable. The writing is precise and interesting enough. Thank you to #netgalley and #shewritespress for the opportunity to preview this book.
