Carry the One by Carol Anshaw

3.0

After Carmen and Matt's wedding, a car of guests accidentally hits and kills a young girl. The book follows primarily Carmen and her siblings, Nick and Alice, in the decades that follow. While ostensibly about the guilt they carry and how that event changes their lives--Carmen is an incessant do-gooder, Alice an artist that can't seem to stop painting the young girl, and Nick a helpless addict--the whole novel frustratingly stays on the same even plane without building to anything substantial or the characters doing much but repeating the same mistakes all over again.
