“The Only Survivors” is a new book by Megan Miranda. A decade ago, two vans filled with high school seniors and some teachers who had been on a field trip, crashed into a ravine – only 9 students survived. A year later, after one of the survivors dies by suicide, the rest make a pact to come together each year. Cassidy Bent is determined to break ties, but the day of the reunion she received a text with an obituary attached. Another survivor is gone. Now there are seven. Cassidy finds herself hurtling back toward the group – wild with grief and suspicion. “The Only Survivors” is also available in Libby.
