Astrid Jones desperately wants to confide in someone, but her motherโs pushiness and her fatherโs lack of interest tell her theyโre the last people she can trust. Instead, Astrid spends hours lying on the backyard picnic table watching airplanes fly overhead. She doesnโt know the passengers inside, but theyโre the only people who wonโt judge her when she asks them her most personal questionsโ.โ.โ.โlike what it means that sheโs falling in love with a girl.
As her secret relationship becomes more intense and her friends demand answers, Astrid has nowhere left to turn. She canโt share the truth with anyone except the people at thirty thousand feet, and they donโt even realize sheโs there. But little does Astrid know just how much even the tiniest connection will affect these strangersโ livesโand her ownโfor the better.
