It took Phoebe's brother Grant 27 minutes to call 911 after a car crash on the bridge. On the same night, June's brother Wyatt goes missing. now 10 years later the truth about what happened that night will finally come to light.
If I hadn't been so overwhelmed by the CRAZY of everyone in the book (I say that as a person with multiple mental health diagnoses and an almost complete psychology degree), I would have seen the truth sooner.

I did not guess the truth since Wyatt was supposedly there.

And it seemed like everyone whose POV it was from had some level of mental illness or was suffering from severe grief. I mean talk about unreliable narrators!
None of the characters were very likable, June, but the rest ugh! The book was okay but not great.

Narrator Rating: 3.5 stars
The narrator did a decent job, but at 2.05x speed she pronounced some words very oddly, not sure if that was supposed to be a regional accent or if it was the speed at which I was listening. She did not do many tonal shifts for different characters. Though she was not too boring either.

honestly, there was not a single likable character in this book and i am not sure if that was intentional or not. the only bearable person was June and that's pushing it.

the ending was unfulfilling and i feel like there was no much unnecessary information put in that made the book longer than needed.

do not recommend.
