Thank you to Tandem Collective and Mariner for the gifted copy of Flight!  All opinions in this review are my own.

This is the first Christmas that Henry, Kate, and Martin are spending together after their mother passed away.  Not only is this holiday going to be difficult, but their mom doesn't have a will and the siblings must determine what to do with her house.

I love how the author introduces the characters in the beeginning of the book with their own chapters.  While it did take me a little time to figure out who was who, these first few chapters were an essential resource to flip back to.  Despite how quickly I flew through this book, I'm shocked with how much is packed into only 230 pages.  The author does an excellent job of capturing the intricaticies and nuances in all of the relationships.  I like how it all came together at the end!

This was a fantastic read right before the holidays!  If you like family dramas, then I highly recommend you pick up Flight!
