![]() ![]() The romance with Sean (and her friend Amanda's seeming jealousy about it) is also really nicely done and I totally got into the characters. The party scenes got a bit jumbled for my tastes, but I really got under Ellie's skin and could see how her obsession both drove her and humanized her. It's really quite breathtaking how well she writes. I'll start by talking about the first two hundred pages of this book, which unfold in a fairly traditional YA sort of way: with a few small exceptions, Weingarten has spun a beautiful and lyrical story of loss and rebirth. A romance sizzles and things get interesting. And at a speed that takes her breath away, Ellie is off on a cross-country road trip with Sean following a trail of clues that she hopes will lead her to her sister. This leads her to other clues and also to a hot guy named Sean. Then one day, while sorting through some old junk at a thrift shop, she finds a drawing that was obviously drawn by her sister in an old book. ![]() Instead, she wonders where her sister has gone. And while Ellie has tried to follow her friends' advice and move on, it simply hasn't been possible. ![]() Two years ago, Ellie's older sister disappeared. ![]()
