About this listen
Two half sisters on a road trip to see their dying father end up miles from where they expected in an emotional novel about secrets, forgiveness, and what it means to be family by the author of La Vie, According to Rose.
Zahra Starling and her younger half sister, Aurora, have nothing in common. Not their childhoods or their personalities. And certainly not their outlooks. After a terrible loss, Zahra prefers the solitude of her LA kitchen to people, especially family. Bubbly Aurora, a rising Hollywood starlet, has everything she’s ever dreamed of, except a relationship with her sister.
Then comes a plea from their dying father, who wants both daughters by his side. He has a secret to share that’s been a long time coming.
It’s Zahra’s last chance to bring closure to the past, even if traumatic memories mean there’s no way she’s stepping foot on a plane. For Aurora, road-tripping to Seattle is the perfect escape and the chance to win over prickly Zahra.
What starts as a rough ride reopening old wounds evolves into something neither expects. When they finally reach their destination—and the truth that awaits them—the sisters will need each other like never before.

“Lauren Parvizi’s Trust Me On This is the book you didn’t know your heart needed. Following two estranged half sisters on a West Coast road trip to see their dying father one last time, Parvizi skillfully explores the bonds of modern families, trauma, and love. Readers will cheer for the prickly Zahra and bubbly Aurora as they find themselves and their common ground in this warm, funny, and touching story.” —Sara Goodman Confino, bestselling author of Don’t Forget to Write and Behind Every Good Man
“Trust Me On This is a sizzling treat of a story, taking us into the hearts and minds of two very different estranged sisters as they travel along bumpy roads to try to reach their rough-diamond father before it’s too late. Full of snarky dialogue and unresolved grief and resentments, with a topping of hope if the sisters are brave enough to reach for it. I was there for the ride from page one.” —Kitty Johnson, author of Five Winters
“With emotional family angst and clever, sharp writing, Parvizi gives us a bingeable road trip up the West Coast with gorgeous scenery, incredible food, and indelible characters. I could not put it down.” —Sierra Godfrey, author of A Very Typical Family
