Synopsis: Sixteen-year-old Clancy Edwards has always been "the good girl." Ever since her mother died in a skydiving accident when Clancy was young, Clancy's father has watched her like a hawk. Between her dad's rules and her boyfriend's protectiveness, she's longing for an escape this summer. Then she meets Denny.

Denny is a new skydiving student and college freshman. Clancy lets Denny think they're the same age--and that she's old enough to make decisions for herself. But the lies snowball, relationships are damaged, and suddenly Clancy isn't the person she wants to be. If only making choices were as simple as taking a leap out of a plane. Before Clancy can make things right, one last act of rebellion threatens her chance to do so--maybe forever.

I am absolutely afraid of heights so the concept of this book already intrigued me. I thought at the heart of the book it was pretty good. You’re introduced to a world that not written about a lot and the setting is in Missouri. I thought the pacing was also well done and the writing was as well.

However, the story didn’t grip me. The characters fell flat for me and I felt that they could have been great.

Verdict: Decent story with skydiving!
