This sounds like a very intriguing, suspenseful, and relatable story. I would love to read the full book and see what was unraveled, as well as learn how the two students develop together! Well done on an excellent review and for #BOTD! I am very excited to start this book.

This book sounds interesting with lots of twists but just enough to not be confusing. Thanks for the review. Definitely a good read.

I like how this book ties a fictional story into a real-life event like the collapsing of a bridge. I’m curious to see how the friendship between Ben and Esther changes.

I haven't read this book before but the review was excellent. I haven't even heard about the Quebec bridge tragedy before, this shows that this book will be enlightening and eye-opening.

I love going through historical events. Although I haven't heard of the Quebec bridge tragedy before but going through the reviews, it sounds enlightening and educational. I would really love to find out what actually caused the tragedy and how Alec and Esther were able to move past the initial thoughts they had of one another and form a new bond of friendship..

The evolution of the relationship between the characters of Esther and Ben seems attractive. Also, the blend of reality and fiction around an engineering tragedy is appealing. I think the story should resonate with college students.

I love novels about friendship. I like that there's a female engineer in the story and she's the main character

I have to confess that I had to search for the Quebec Bridge disaster because I didn't know about it. Its history and the influence it had on this novel's protagonists make me curious even if historical fiction is not my thing. Thank you for your great review!
Ciao :)

I love it when people surprise us. Out first impressions aren't always that accurate and everyone has a story.
Also, I hadn't heard about this tragedy before, so that should be educational.
Thank you.
