- The protagonist, Cherry, is introduced as a mysterious character on a flight who predicts the deaths of her fellow passengers.

- Despite the intriguing premise, the narrative is criticized for being overly detailed and lacking the compelling group dynamics found in the author's previous works.
In a flight setting, Cherry, an enigmatic woman, captivates her fellow passengers by making alarming predictions about their deaths, specifying causes and ages. This unusual behavior sparks a range of reactions, from skepticism to concern, as some passengers take steps to mitigate their perceived risks. The unfolding events create a tense atmosphere, as the passengers grapple with the implications of Cherry's foretellings. As the story progresses, several of Cherry's predictions materialize, leading to a growing unease among the group. The narrative delves into the unpredictability of life and the human tendency to seek control over fate. However, the author, known for her character-driven storytelling, struggles to maintain the same depth with a large cast of characters who ultimately lead separate lives post-flight. The book is marked by a tendency to over-explain and repeat information, detracting from the overall impact of the story. While there are moments of wit and humor, they are insufficient to elevate the narrative, which feels disjointed and lacking in cohesion. The absence of complex group dynamics, a hallmark of the author's previous novels, leaves the characters feeling forgettable. In conclusion, despite the intriguing premise of predicting death, the execution results in a narrative that feels disappointingly mundane and orderly, failing to fully engage the reader in the exploration of its darker themes.
