This second book in the flight series was different than the first one. There was definitely more plot, and if I recall the FanFiction correctly (and who knows, perhaps I'm mis-remembering the fanfic plot), this part starts to diverge in a bigger way from the fanfic?

The two women, Olivia and Emily, have broken up at the beginning of this one because of the stuff that happened at the end of the first book, and neither one seems happy at all.

In this one we also have Henry's grandparents (on his father's side) wanting custody, Emily getting fired (sorta, although I thought it was very anti-climatic) from Crown Airlines, and then there's Olivia. She does not have an easy time of it in this book. She goes through a plane crash, not to mention problems with her company, and another health problem beyond the plane crash. Yikes.

So, that means that Simon winds up in New York, and he is fast becoming my very favorite character in the series. He and Henry have some good scenes for sure, and then of course there was more between Olivia/Henry, and those were even better than in the first book.

Henry definitely seemed to be in this book quite a bit more than he was in the last one, and I really liked most of his stuff. From the few five year olds I've known and met, he seemed well written too.

I liked this book a lot. It was a fun and quick read, and I think I am looking forward to the third book in the series too. ( )
