Ask The Passengers by A. S. King

A sixteen-year-old girl quietly addresses the strangers she imagines riding in airplanes, asking whether they’re happy, and uses those makeshift confessions to try to understand her own questions about love, identity, faith, and truth. When rumors about her private life ignite cruelty and judgment in her small, conservative town, she faces harassment, family strain, and the pressure to perform certainty she doesn’t feel. Witty, tender, and unflinchingly honest, the story follows her search for belonging and the courage it takes to speak her own truth.
