I read Cara Dee's story "Aftermath" a few years ago and really liked it, so I wanted to read another of her books. Noah is having a very bad two days. First, he catches his girlfriend of four years cheating on him, and the next day, the plane carrying his parents, sister, brother-in-law, niece, and nephew crashes killing all on board. He's never been so depressed or felt so alone. However, his 23-year-old step-nephew is left, and when the young man moves in with Noah, things start to look up.
This book was very different from "Aftermath" but was still a compelling read. Julian and Noah don't really know each other but they bond while trying to get through the tragedy. My only complaints are that big chunks of time were glossed over (one chapter started with "Nine months later"), and there was too much cussing for my taste. I'm no prude but I found it distracting and too crude for the characters. 259 pages (Kindle edition).
