What Happens Next by Claire Swinarski
5.0
This book celebrates some amazing things: the bonds of sisterhood, small towns, and the study of astronomy. Abby has two sisters, and complex relationships with each of them. She feels like she’s losing them for different reasons.
As she tells her story in two different timelines, we learn what her relationships with her sisters looked like before, and how they’ve changed. One timeline follows the present, where Abby’s sister is at a rehab facility and Abby is working toward helping a famous astronomer find his telescope. We also get scenes moving further into the past that show Abby’s sister’s downward spiral and hint at what led the astronomer to her small town in the Northwoods.
I loved the story of Abby and her sisters and her plans to fix everything through finding the telescope. Abby is sweet and strong and quietly grieving for her relationships with her sisters. She drew me in right away and I couldn’t help rooting for her through every page of this story.
Readers who enjoyed THE SPACE BETWEEN LOST AND FOUND by Sandy Stark-McGinnis or THE QUEEN BEE AND ME by Gillian McDunn need to check this one out!
Note: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
