Strohmeyer ( The Secrets of Lily Graves) has a great handle on Addie’s cerebral perspective, which is engaging and funny, along with her development of Kris as a repentant bad boy who likes Addie despite what turns out to be a complicated past between them. Addie, meanwhile, is so socially naïve that she doesn’t realize she’s experienced this exact thing with Kris. Though Addie considers herself immune to romance, she’s also working to prove a theory that any two people can fall in love if they undergo a trauma together. Scientifically minded Addie sees the world through an extremely rational lens-think Temperance Brennan on Bones-even offering to kiss Kris as the plane flounders as a “medical intervention” (he’s about to pass out from hyperventilation). Addie and Kris meet in a high-stress situation: their plane seems like it’s about to crash.
