"Heartbreaking and funny, often in the same sentence-a deeply felt, finely wrought, and highly satisfying novel. Alison Espach has created a family whose every sorrow, joy, and idiosyncrasy is utterly, vibrantly real."-New York Times bestselling author Claire Lombardo
For much of her life, Sally Holt has 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 rising senior and local basketball star who mans the concession stand at the town pool. The girls have been fascinated by Billy ever since he jumped off the roof in elementary school, but Billy has never shown much interest in them until the summer before Sally begins eighth grade. By then, their mutual infatuation with Billy is one of the few things the increasingly different sisters have in common. Sally spends much of that summer at the pool, watching in confusion and excitement as her sister falls deeper in love with Billy-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 both a breathtaking love story about two broken people who are unexplainably, inconveniently drawn to each other and a wryly astute coming-of-age tale brimming with unexpected moments of joy.

An Intimate and personal Exploration of Grief
First of all „Notes of your sudden disappearance“ is an emotionally heavy novel, containing a very interesting concept. The protagonist Sally is writing letters to her dead sister. In the letters she is talking about her growing up and her grieve journey. This being said, this story can feel really depressing, especially reading about the coping mechanisms of some of these characters. It is really clear that a lot of these characters are struggling to move on. Alison Espach expresses this through her writing style and the isolating feeling you get while reading. In addition to the raw grieve this books also demonstrates how grieve can connect people and can even lead to obsession, with the dead and living. Overall this book is really intense. It’s a beautiful and personal concept, and a very sensitive portrayal of loss. Although it felt rushed in the end and not fully lived up to it‘s potential, Alison Espach tried to maintain the premise and it’s worth a read.
