I was sent this book in exchange for a review from the publisher. My ratings and reviews will be my own personal opinions and are in no way influenced by publishers or authors who may have sent me books to review.
This was my first Roni Loren read, but it will not be my last. Let’s start off by talking about this cover. I love it, and it was definitely the first thing that pulled me into wanting to read The Ones Who Got Away.
This deals with an issue that our country unfortunately has had to deal on several occasions…a school shooting. The story actually takes place twelve years after the tragedy. Right from the start you will be heartbroken as you learn about the characters past and present.
This starts off with a “forbidden/hidden” high school romance that is now reconnecting. The attraction between Liv and Finn is undeniable even after all these years. I think you will really connect with the love story if you had a secret love from years ago.
Both Liv, Finn, and the other characters are really dealing with the past and if it is possible to move on. It really delves into PTSD as well including flashbacks and nightmares plaguing the characters. Finn even went into a career as a cop to try to stop guns being sold to young children.
Overall, I really enjoyed this and I look forward to reading more from this author.
