Lost and Wanted by Nell Freudenberger
4.0
The blurb makes this sound like a ghost story, a woman haunted by her dead friend, and while I get why I did this, it sounded horrible. I'd never have picked up this book if I hadn't liked everything else Freudenberger put out before.
This is a fun and easy to read novel about relationships and loss, being a parent and a friend. I liked the physics backdrop and didn't find it confusing at all, since it's not a plot point - but I also find the subjects very fascinating. If anything, it's a tad gimmicky at times, but thankfully the characters and their relationships to each other are more important here. I read this in a day and was sad to let go of them.
