About this book

Sally Holt has long looked to her older sister Kathy for answers about life, love, and the world around them. One of those questions centers on Billy Barnes, a rising senior and local basketball star who works at the town pool concession stand. Both sisters have been drawn to Billy since he jumped off a roof in elementary school, but he shows little interest in them until the summer before Sally enters eighth grade. That summer, as Sally watches Kathy fall deeper in love with Billy, a tragedy occurs that permanently connects Sally's life to his. Set in the early nineties and spanning nearly two decades, Notes on Your Sudden Disappearance follows the shared history and missed connections between Sally and Billy. The novel combines a love story about two broken people drawn to each other with a coming-of-age narrative marked by moments of both heartbreak and humor. NPR and The Chicago Tribune named it a Best Book of the Year.
