My review:

Hannah has lost her leg and Joe has lost his wife, Alison, in the accident.
Alan & Cassie lost their teenage son, Kerrin. I’m a super big animal lover, so I love what they did to honor his memory by creating Kerrin’s Farm. (I tried to find the correct spelling in other reviews, but everyone refers to him as Timothy, so I’m guessing there was a name change since the book was published back in 2020? I don’t think my ears can be confusing Timothy for Kerrin.)

About halfway through we get additional narrators:
Mike ~ Hannah’s husband. Ugh with him!
David ~ Joe’s brother. Ugh with him, too! I hated this whole story line and I’m not sure what it added to the overall story. Ugh with David’s wife, Pam, too.
Speaking of additional characters, Phil & Diane ~ Joe’s neighbors, while they were very helpful to Joe, did I really miss their purpose, or was it just so Joe had help?

Overall, despite all my ugh’s I liked this one and how certain people came together in the end. I wouldn’t categorize it as a thriller and there really isn’t a mystery to the readers. The mystery lies within Hannah’s brain since she can’t recall the accident.

Narration:
Jodie Harris ~ 7 hours 43 minutes ~ mostly a fine job, but she didn’t even try to distinguish her voice for multiple characters.

*Thanks to the author, Dreamscape Media and NetGalley for the audio copy. I am voluntarily leaving my honest review*

Book blurb:

One moment can change a lifetime…

When a sudden blast of severe weather causes a traffic accident, the effects will ripple through the lives of many long after the scene is cleared . . .

Hannah has lost a leg, as well as her memory of the event, leading her to fear she may have been at fault. Struggling with recovery and anxiously awaiting the inquest results, she remains at home with her husband and kids.

Joe wants to take his own life after his wife died in the accident, leaving him injured and alone.

Meanwhile, the Joneses mourn their son and decide to embark on a project to honour him: opening a centre for rescued animals.

But when the survivors find their paths crossing again, there are consequences that no one could predict .
