Bright Burning Things by Lisa Harding

medium-paced

2.0

This had such potential, but if you're looking for a story that's more about the journey than the ending, then this might be for you. I was shocked when I was listening to it and the little audiobook closing came on. This story felt like it stopped 3/4 of the way through a sentence. Just an additional 20 pages could have brought so much more - there's just too many unanswered and unresolved things by the end -

who Tommy's father is and why Sonya lied and told Tommy he's dead; the whole thing with David and Sonya's father; all the hostility from Lara; why is Sonya's father so seemingly involved in her life to other people, but doesn't actually check in with her for weeks or months at a time... Not to mention everything about Tommy being placed in care with multiple people and everyone that seemingly had "good intentions" for Tommy caused him the most harm.

Most of the characters were unlikeable, except Tommy :'(. 
This one didn't burn bright enough for me.
