Where Things Come Back by John Corey Whaley
3.0
When Cullen Whitter's younger brother, Gabriel, suddenly vanishes, he's set adrift. He tries to keep it together while losing hope of his brother's safe return. In the meantime, his small hometown suddenly becomes obsessed with the possibility that a long-thought-extinct Lazarus Woodpecker has resurfaced in their area, more obsessed than they are with finding Gabriel.
I really loved the main story line of Where Things Come Back. Cullen was an interesting character, and I thought the portrayal of his grief (and the grief of his family and close friends) felt very real and poignant.
The secondary story line does eventually connect to the main narrative, but I didn't find it all that interesting or important in the end. I would've like the book better without it.
