I did not care for any of the characters in this book. The daughter who was supposed to be so smart slept with old men for money after taking a hit of Coke. Why didn't she get a real job or call her Mother for help instead of sinking to this? The Mother I didn't care for either. She went off for two days or more and left her cat home alone and when she returned the cat was dead. It seems like it is the rule for first time writers to kill a pet cat or dog off! The Mother was supposed to have so many friends so why didn't she get someone to check on the cat while she was gone or take the cat to a kennel? The story was just okay. I wish I had saved my money.Tags : Freefall: A Novel [Jessica Barry] on Amazon.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. <strong>A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2019:</strong> <em><strong>Entertainment Weekly</strong></em><strong> | </strong><em><strong>USA Today</strong></em><strong> | </strong><em><strong>Parade</strong></em><strong> | </strong><em><strong>Cosmopolitan</strong></em><strong> | </strong><em><strong>New York Post</strong></em><strong> | PopSugar | Goodreads</strong> <strong>“Jessica Barry’s <em>Freefall</em> is not only an enthralling,Jessica Barry,Freefall: A Novel,Harper,0062874837,Aircraft accidents,Airplane crash survival,Airplane crash survival;Fiction.,Maine,Missing persons,Mothers and daughters,Mothers and daughters;Fiction.,Psychological fiction.,Rocky Mountains,Secrecy,Thrillers (Fiction),AMERICAN MYSTERY & SUSPENSE FICTION,FICTION Thrillers Crime,FICTION Thrillers General,FICTION Thrillers Psychological,FICTION Thrillers Suspense,FICTION Women,Fiction,Fiction-Thriller,FictionThrillers - Crime,FictionThrillers - Suspense,FictionWomen,GENERAL,General Adult,MysterySuspense,United States
Freefall A Novel Jessica Barry 9780062874832 Books Reviews
Book and story is told from two points of view, Allison the daughter who is thought to be dead in a plane crash. Then Maggie, her estranged mother, who can't accept that she would be dead and searches to find truth of what has happened in the last two years to her daughter and where her daughter is now. Lots of twists and turns. Was a great read!
did not like the premise of the controlling crazy husband and found it hard to get to the end. The mother daughter parts were okay.
A high octane thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I read it in one afternoon. Didn't plan to but I was sucked in immediately. Highly, highly recommend!
Freefall was one of those thrillers I couldn’t put down. I liked the strength of the protagonists, Ally and her Mother Maggie, although I found some of Ally’s accomplishments as she attempts to cross the Rocky Mountains somewhat unbelievable, they certainly made for an entertaining read. I liked the way the novel was organized switching between Ally and Maggie’s points of view and also the way Ally’s memories reveal her back story. The book also deals with a serious subject about the possible corruption in certain pharmaceutical companies and the FDA. It’s frightening to think that this part of the story may be accurate. Overall, a great read.
I really enjoyed this, particularly the mother-daughter relationship. A woman survives a private plane crash but is presumed dead. Her estranged mother refuses to give up faith that she’s still alive, and sets out unravelling what happened. The narrative jumps back and forth between mom & daughter as we learn that after surviving, the daughter is now running for her life and trying to rescue her mother from the conspiracy that put her on the plane to begin with.
It’s good from the start, but it really picks up in the middle and races to the end. My only issue was it changes from present to past tense between narrators despite being in the same time line. This was likely a stylistic choice, but I found it a bit jarring at times. Also, as a San Diegan, I really enjoyed the local descriptions!
Jessica Barry’s thriller FREEFALL is wildly thrilling and shockingly scary. A private plane has crashed in the mountains in Colorado, piloted by the only survivor’s fiancé, destination unknown. The survivor instinctually knows that she must run. She is in trouble and her continued fight for her life is imperative. While seemingly impossible, that with the extent of her injuries, she will reach safety, the weaving of the character’s struggle along with her mother’s search for her whereabouts is what draws you in. The suspense builds incrementally and then, as danger increases, you are almost gasping for breath with each turn of the page.
This is a compelling read - compelling enough that I finished it. However, I was frustrated along the way. I felt like the author was manipulating the reader too much by throwing in little details but not enough to sink my teeth into. Didn't really like any of the characters except the Mother. For the protagonist to act in the way she did, especially before she wises up, I wanted to understand why she made the choices she did. This was sorely lacking. Seems like she likely had some kind of trauma to be so desperate and naive. So, it's okay but certainly not great.
