De: Robin Benway

National Book Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author Robin Benway returns with a story of love, loss, and sisterhood reminiscent of I’ll Give You the Sun and Every Day. Told in reverse chronological order, A Year to the Day will claim a permanent home in your heart.

IT’S BEEN A YEAR—A YEAR OF MISSING NINA

Leo can’t remember what happened the night of the accident. All she knows is that she left the party with her older sister, Nina, and Nina’s boyfriend, East. And now Nina is dead, killed by a drunk driver and leaving Leo with a hole inside her that’s impossible to fill.

East, who loved Nina almost as much as Leo did, is the person who seems to most understand how she feels, and the two form a friendship based on their shared grief. But as she struggles to remember what happened, Leo discovers that East remembers every detail of the accident—and he won’t tell her anything about it. In fact, he refuses to talk about that night at all.

As the days tumble one into the next, Leo’s story comes together while her world falls apart. How can she move on if she never knows what really happened that night? And is happiness even possible in a world without Nina?

Powerful story about grief and recovery

The audiobook narrator skillfully brings the characters to life in this exploration of grief and recovery from a traumatic loss. Beautifully written, the authenticity of emotion rings through every line, yet the author masterfully balances intense scenes with lighter moments in echo of the way grief is experienced in real life,

Annoying

I don’t know whether to blame the narrator or the story. However both were terrible. The voices of the narrator for the characters were cringy. Also the writing was terrible as well. Why were there so many f-bombs, what purpose did they serve. I don’t even know why I finished this book because the more I listened to it the worse it got.
