Publisher Description
FROM THE MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE WEDDING PEOPLE
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, the high school basketball star who runs the refreshment stand at the local 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.

Customer Reviews
I loved this book
It creeps up on you. You don’t notice the time that creeps by as you get pulled into the story. You feel so much for this girl and for this boy and for this family. It is so raw and so compelling but so oddly comforting and reassuring. How can a book so centred on loss leave you with so much hope and joy? Beautiful, beautiful book. Thank you
This book will stay with me forever. Beautiful and brilliant.
Loved this so much. Simple yet stunning,
