‘Heartbreaking and funny, often in the same sentence’
Claire Lombardo, bestselling author of The Most Fun We Ever Had
Sally Holt has always been mystified by the things her older sister, Kathy, seems to have been born knowing. Kathy has answers for all of Sally’s questions about life, about love, and about Billy Barnes, a local basketball star who runs the refreshment stand at the town pool. Billy’s unfathomable, otherworldly cool puts him on a different planet – until a tragedy leaves Sally’s life forever intertwined with his.
Opening in the early nineties and charting almost two decades of shared history and missed connections, Notes on Your Sudden Disappearance is a dazzlingly unconventional love story that brims with unexpected moments of joy.
