Only One Survives by Hannah Mary McKinnon

4.0

Vienna Taylor is a member of The Bittersweet, an up-and-coming girl band when a car accident with all of her band mates in a snowstorm derails their success. They are left to survive the night with no cell signal and not knowing where they were.

This story is told in Vienna's point of view in the present, the very past and during the night of the accident and after. We get her background in meeting Madison during her senior year of high school, leading them to becoming best friends. She is the rich girl while Vienna is the poor girl with a terrible mother and her worthless husband, and a grandmother with dementia. Madison is part of the band, too. She hasn't always been the best of friends to Vienna in her actions.

This book was definitely interesting. It's one where you go back and see things that happen in a different light. An "a-ha" moment. I had more than one of those while reading this book. Surprises...I love it. I also enjoyed that it didn't end with the major reveal. There was more to the story and we got a lot of it in Part Two of the story. I didn't know what or who to believe. It was great!
