Ask the Passengers A Novel (eBook) : King, A. S. 1970- : "Astrid Jones copes with her small town's gossip and narrow-mindedness by staring at the sky and imagining that she's sending love to the passengers in the airplanes flying high over her backyard.
But she finds everyone around her detached. Particularly remarkable is the evolution of the relationship--a tentative start-stop thing which Astrid repeatedly refuses to put into a box with a label. There was definite hint at "you're either gay or you aren't" and I feel that's really divisive and a little alienating.I would definitely recommend ASK THE PASSENGERS if only because I love AS King. I loved the interstitial bits about the passengers of airplanes; I loved everything about Socrates.

But little does Astrid know just how much even the tiniest connection will affect these strangers' lives--and her own--for the better.In this truly original portrayal of a girl struggling to break free of society's definitions, Printz Honor author A.S.

Still, I think the allusions to Buddhism (sending love to strangers) might prove more useful. A.S. King has an amazing ability of creating characters of depth and complexity that we can understand and empathize with while placing them in heart rendering situations that are soul deep. I enjoy Ms King's narrative shorthand: sympathetic Dad, cold Mom, misunderstood young protagonist, philosophical asides, personification (pagoda, gossip)--idiosyncratic but relatable.

As her secret relationship becomes more intense and her friends demand answers, Astrid has nowhere left to turn. Her LGBTQ friends urge her to "come out", especially after the (underage) group gets busted at the next town's gay bar.
That's what I get from A. S. King's novels, that in some way, most of us are bullied teens searching for a way to live our lives authentically.
