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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOpening in the early nineties and charting almost two decades of shared history and missed connections, \u003ci\u003eNotes on Your Sudden Disappearance\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Henry Holt \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250823144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2021 pg. 6\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2022 pg. 18\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/07\/2022\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Alison Espach","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41968462037173,"sku":"9781250823144","price":22.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_7547b0b1-5210-467a-93ea-a8e79e786a30.jpg?v=1647958186","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/notes-on-your-sudden-disappearance-9781250823144","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
