![]() ![]() Surrounding yourself with people that not only support you, but push you to chase your dreams, instead of sitting back and watching you wallow in what feels comfortable is everything. The intensity they shared as teenagers is still there after all this time and it's equal parts awkward and exciting deep and visceral.īesides the fun repartee and undeniable chemistry that Olivia and Finn share, this story brings to the forefront the importance of living your life to the fullest fear be damned. It's during the interview process that Olivia and Finn come face-to-face for the first time since that life-changing night both with differing perspectives on Finn’s hero status and unavoidable feelings. Instead, she takes us back to the scene of the crime with the filming of a documentary, 12-years post-devastation, and a series of stress-related nightmares/flashbacks. I like the fact that Roni Loren decided against throwing us in the midst of the massacre-a high-school shooting on prom night. I love nothing more than pages packed with emotion and perseverance-I think I might've mentioned a time or two that I’m an optimist at heart-and I felt like this author delivered with Olivia and Finn's heart-wrenching story. ![]() ![]() A few years back, I picked up a novella from Roni Loren-the sweet and sassy, Nice Girls Don't Ride-but for some reason never found myself crossing paths with any of her full length novels until The Ones Who Got Away caught my eye. ![]()
