 Notes on Your Sudden Disappearance looks at the fallout when Kathy is killed in a car accident. It’s told from the point of view of her younger sister Sally, and highlights the impact on Sally, their parents and the family unit as a whole, as well as on Billy, Kathy’s boyfriend who was driving at the time of the accident. A coming of age story that takes a realistic look at the sometimes messy legacy of grief. I thought it was solid but unremarkable. For some reason it didn’t make the impression on me that it did on many other readers.
