A Million to One

Product Information

And this probably goes without saying, but we know that the lower in Class you go, the less survivors there were, with only 24% of the Third-Class passengers making it. In the year of 2022, I need authors to stop this weird narrative where a Rich Black Character is believed to be more privileged than a Poor White Character. Original, absorbing, exceptional, and a thoroughly entertaining read from beginning to end…that is very highly recommended. Every page of Adiba Jaigirdar's A Million to One glitters like the Titanic itself, with all the exquisite tension of a first kiss--or an impossible heist. Being the older sibling, and the only family either one has left, she feels responsible for his well-being and would certainly do all she could to facilitate a happy reunion.

Thrillingly, Trevor takes the reader with him into dressing rooms, into boardrooms and on to the field of play. I hate to be cynical, but even during an event as chaotic as a giant freightliner sinking in the middle of the Atlantic; the likelihood of a person of color making it one of the 20 lifeboats ahead of a white-skinned passenger was probably slim to none. Every page of Adiba Jaigirdar’s A Million to One glitters like the Titanic itself, with all the exquisite tension of a first kiss—or an impossible heist. She only ever wanted to cover me up; that was the most important thing a piece of clothing could do for me. A countdown in the chapter headings adds a sense of urgency--will the girls succeed before time runs out?I'm a big fan of country music, a staunch proponent of saving the Oxford comma, and I'm shamefully obsessed with all things Harry Potter. I like that we’re introduced originally to just Claire and Tristan and then Devin and Espie just sort of join the party! The second time I saw this was in The Ones We Burn when the white witch girl was convinced the Black princess was super privileged because she was royalty.

Perfect for fans of Stalking Jack the Ripper and Girl in the Blue Coat, this high-seas heist from the author of The Henna Wars is an immersive story that makes readers forget one important detail — the ship sinks. One of the hallmarks of a good heist story is the ASSEMBLING: the growing excitement of going to each character, presenting the heist opportunity, recruiting them, then following the group dynamics as each person learns to work together.

I’m not sure what age range this book falls into but the writing style is a little young in the words and the pacing but at some points the actions do not match this younger age style. A Million to One is a charming novel with a diverse cast of characters that will appeal to a younger audience who like strong female protagonists and adventure.

And while the love story between Jack and Rose was super straight, Titanic was the ship that launched a thousand lesbian haircuts. Paranormal fans should enjoy this strange brew of revelations and romance, saints and sinners, remembering the past and attempting to save the future.These revelations certainly test the friendship of the girls and I thought it added depth to the narrative.
