The Incident on the Bridge Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

Laura McNeal (Author), Lincoln Hoppe (Narrator), Listening Library (Publisher)

From National Book Award nominee Laura McNeal comes a gripping, tautly-told novel that is at once hopeful and harrowing. Perfect for fans of We Were Liars and Bone Gap.

When Thisbe Locke is last seen standing on the edge of the Coronado Bridge, it looks like there is only one thing to call it. But her sister Ted is not convinced. Despite the witnesses and the police reports and the divers, and the fact that she was heartbroken about the way things ended with Clay and how she humiliated herself at that party, Thisbe isn't the type of person to end up just an "incident".

While everyone in town prepares to mourn the loss (some more than others), Ted and Fen, the new kid in town, set out to put the pieces together and find her sister.

But if Thisbe didn't jump, what happened up on that bridge?

5.0 out of 5 stars Choices and the Ramifications of Those Choices
Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2017

A young girl has made what is, for her, a life choice she deeply regrets. Teens so often view choice as black or white, life or death, and this is exactly what this book explores so well along with the secrecy that teens naturally employ. Young adults excel at keeping parents in the dark, reacting to what they perceive as total failure, trying to deal with their issues alone and often making rash decisions along the way(which can have dire repercussions.) In The Incident on the Bridge, Laura McNeal, has explored these concepts and written an exceptional book. It was engrossing, believable, her character were well rounded and very human and she portrayed the story from multiple points of view.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well written but with disappointing conclusion path
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2017

I generally i liked the book very much. The author cleverly revealed pieces of the plot through the narratives of different characters, with chapters devoted to each. The plot kept my interest - wondering how it would be resolved - until he author or kind of abruptly concluded the story in a most dissatisfying manner - almost like she couldn't be bothered to fill in details to make the final chapters a bit more dramatic or at least to have the reader feel the story was completed.

In every respect, this book is a wonder and delight. Laura McNeal writes beautifully and knowingly and respectfully about young adults. The story is wonderfully complex but the events flow gracefully, I felt I was watching the story unfold and I felt empathetic with each person. At times the prose was simply amazing.

5.0 out of 5 stars A cut above most YA fiction
Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2016

I think I've read all of Laura McNeal's novels and this ranks among her best. Told from a number of perspectives and incorporating interesting and varied stylistic approaches, this book demands your attention and concentration, but the payoff is worth it. I always expect beautiful writing with McNeal, but she may have even surpassed her prose in Dark Water. As an easterner, I wasn't familiar with the setting, but now I feel in could sail the Pacific-or at least as far as Catalina. The central mystery--what happened to Thisbe--keeps the narrative tense and suspenseful, and she captures the uncertainty, angst, and dry, morbid humor of teens without resorting to the emotionally manipulative tricks of many YA authors. A highly recommended read for the summer.

Great character development and intriguing plot. Skillful weaving of multiple subplots. I could smell the salt air and feel the monstrous bridge.

4.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing novel
Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2016
I really loved the cover of this novel and I was excited to get my arms around it. The author’s writing propels you through this novel as many voices narrate the text. Laura revealed the facts about the incident, slowly. I loved how the author was able to entice the reader to listen to the voices of the characters as they gradually share their knowledge of the event. It’s the variety of the characters and the slight bit of information that they might possession that puts this novel together for me. I was surprised at some of the evidence that slipped by me. Reading the synopsis and the title, we learn that Thisbe is depressed. This depression stems over Clay, a boy who has stopped seeing her and now has lead her to take drastic measures atop a bridge. What actually occurred on top of that bridge is hidden inside this novel and it seems like everyone has a voice in the matter.

I was impatient at times as read along as I wanted to know the truth and I wanted to know it, immediately. I wanted to know what happened as Thisbe climbed out of the car because I knew what she was thinking that day as she drove over the bridge and then somehow, she disappeared. I was meeting some interesting people, people who were family, people that claimed that they were just acquaintances but boy did they have stories, and others who were connected to this traumatic event. As each individual revealed their role and it started to come together, I started to get anxious as I felt as there were not enough pages left in the novel to suffice a complete ending. But Laura came through, her words pulled it together and it was over. This story intrigued me, I enjoyed the way the author put the story together.
