The Ones Who Got Away is an incredibly sincere and shockingly fun story about the life of Liv Arias. In her senior year of high school, she was a survived a horrific school shooting that killed many of her classmates. When she returns to the site to answer questions for an up-coming documentary years later, she see him. Finn Dorsey. Her old boy-friend from high school. As she feels this old flame re-ignite she realizes that her life may not be what she's really wanted.
This is a book that leaves so many different impressions on me. The aspect of the school shooting tragedy, about having to live the rest of your life honoring those who died was an intense conversation, that was somehow perfectly balanced by the fun chemistry of the couple and their love.
I think this was an amazing and beautiful love story, but also a book with a lovely message about life. I loved it and I highly recommend it.
