About this listen
A fresh new contemporary romance from New York Times and USA Today best seller Roni Loren that will rock your world. Twelve years ago, tragedy struck the senior class of Long Acre High School. Only a small number of students survived, a group the media dubbed as The Ones Who Got Away. Now, web designer Liv Arias, along with the rest of the survivors, have returned to the small Texas town to tell their stories for a documentary. Which means Liv seeing former star-athlete and old flame Finn Dorsey.
A lot happened between them that night and Liv is ready to end their decade-long riff and move on. But when her attempt at closure turns into a steamy kiss, moving on proves much more difficult than either of them thought....

Story
The average song is three and a half minutes long; those three and a half minutes could lead to a slow blink, a glimpse of the past, or catapult the soul into heart-shattering nostalgia. At the height of my career, I had the life I wanted, the life I’d always envisioned. I’d found my tempo, my rhythm. Then I received a phone call that left me off key. You see, my favorite songs had a way of playing simultaneously. I was in love with one man’s beats and another’s lyrics. But when it came to the soundtrack of a life, how could anyone choose a favorite song?

Story
It all started with an unexpected phone call. Two years after my fiancé passed away in an accident, his father died suddenly, leaving Brad’s adult special-needs brother with no one to care for him. The next thing I knew, I was on a cross-country drive to New Hampshire where I’d be moving in to look after Scottie until I could get him into a group home. The last thing I ever expected? I wouldn’t be taking care of him alone.

In town, they called her "Crazy Widow Dinsmore". But Elly was no stranger to their ridicule - she had been an outsider all her life, growing up in a boarded-up old house under the strict eye of her eccentric grandparents. Now she was all alone, with two little boys to raise, and a third child on the way. Will Parker drifted into Whitney, Georgia, one lazy afternoon in the summer, hoping to put his lonely past behind him. He yearned for the tenderness he had never known, the home he'd never had. All he needed was for someone to give him a chance.

Story
My childhood was stolen by a monster. I've forgotten what love feels like. What happiness feels like. What hope feels like. I am numb. Him: He's possibly as damaged as I am. Maybe even more. Scarred just as much on the inside as the outside. Just like me. He doesn't speak. He doesn't smile. He hides in the woods like an animal. I should be scared of him, but I'm not. He's the only one that has ever made me feel. And I want to make him feel, too. Everything....

Compelling story about the Strength, Guilt, & Struggles of School Shooting Survivors
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The story follows Liv and Finn. Both were in their senior class when tragedy struck. Only a few students survived that terrible night. The media dubbed those survivors as The Ones Who Got Away. Liv and Finn had a secret relationship and that night tore them apart. Years have passed and the two run into each other during the filming of another documentary and the sparks are still there, but can they find themselves before they lose each other.
OoooOOOoooooOOOOOOooooOOOO the feels here. It really gave me some tears here and there. Especially at the beginning. Finn, Liv, and the others have a lot of damage from what happened that night. Poor things. I can't even imagine surviving something like that and having to deal with the guilts and sadness. UGH so sad.
What I loved the most about this story was that this wasn't only a journey of love, but a journey for the characters to help them move forward. They have a lot of demons to sort through and find themselves again. I was nervous this would be 2-D and too angsty, but there was a perfect balance of complexity and simplicity. The characters loved each other and they knew it and have always known it even though they don't think it will ever work especially after that terrible night. The past weighs heavy on both of them. Especially Finn. He has so much guilt and he blames himself for Liv nearly getting killed. They have the lust down but loving themselves and each other will take time.
I also love the side characters. I want them all to find happiness within themselves and their love life! They deserve a HEA!!! Can't wait to get my hands on the next ones!
Loved the narrator. She was awesome.
This was good. Super good. This is definitely will hit you in the feels. Good feels and sad feels. I highly recommend it. 5 stars
This was good. Super good!
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
As a teacher and parent, this topic was very difficult for me, but Roni Loren dealt with it in a beautiful way. The characters are still affected by the tragic past and are healing in different ways. I liked the bond and friendship that was woven throughout the book.
Finn and Liv got a second chance 12 years after a deadly school shooting at their prom. Finn has held onto guilt about how he handled himself in the mist of the shooting. You feel how deeply he was affected. The emotions are evident beyond the page.
Liv is also trying to heal and feels stuck and wants to move past the trauma from her past. I loved how her healing manifested through her passion for art.
This is an emotional read and your heart gores out to all the characters and you want to root for them to thrive not just survive.
Heartbreaking and beautiful
