I read Sky Daddy not too long ago (loved it and highly recommend it!) and when I was looking up discussion on the book, I was surprised to find that some people interpret the ending as the characters not dying in a plane crash, because it seemed pretty direct to me that that’s what happened when I read it—the description of feeling of inevitability, the plane struggling, “I held my best friend’s hand until I couldn’t anymore,” etc,and it really worked as a bittersweet ending—the main character finally both finds human connection and gets her fondest wish, but at the cost of loss of life. For others who have read it, how did you interpret the ending?
