The Only Survivors

by Megan Miranda

I just finished reading “The Only Survivors” by Megan Miranda. Here are my thoughts. This is definately a slow burn. Survivors of a horrific buscrash in highschool where everyone died except for a few, they meet every year by the ocean to support and re-connect.

They aren’t really friends and there are secrets that happened on the night of the crash that are slowly revealed…the biggest one being the actual cause of the crash (which is the biggest wow of the book. Another big(gish) wow is then the stalker is revealed. I didn’t hate this book but I didn’t love it either. I am a big fan of this author but the characters didn’t really do it for me.

I thought they were all a little flat. The lead character was mildly interesting and she did have a lot of secrets as well…enough to keep reading until the end. But in some parts of the book, I found myself “skimming” through. A bit too repetitive with maybe too many characters and unecessary subplots.

The ending was satisfactory though, but not the author’s best work.

Happy reading
