Carla Buckley
Two cousins, Rory and Arden, lie unconscious in a hospital burn unit. The fire, which broke out in their shared college dorm room, killed another student, and the police want answers. Tension between Rory and Arden's parents was already at an all-time high before the fire, owing to a recent financial crisis and the decline of the family business. As the parents huddle anxiously in the waiting room, carefully avoiding the subject of their own unraveling relationships, disturbing truths come to light. This is the deeply moving story of a family's struggle to hold together while their secrets threaten to tear them apart.
Carla Buckley is the author of The Deepest Secret, Invisible, and The Things That Keep Us Here, which was nominated for a Thriller Award as a best first novel and the Ohioana Book Award for fiction.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
This story just drags along. Each character endures terrible burdens, made worse by a very real sense of loneliness. The parents don't talk to each other, the kids can't communicate with the shut-down parents. The sad thing is that I couldn't care less about what happens to these self-absorbed people. What a drag.What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
Not there yet and might never get there.If this book were a movie would you go see it?
No way!Any additional comments?
The narration was the only thing that keeps this book moving forward, but even that isn't enough to keep listening for 12 hours. Too many books, too little time.Still not sure I can finish this
