Kennedy Jones misses her mom and
brother, and she finds comfort in listening to the sound waves from her brother’s
satellite. When she picks up an unusual sound
reading, she reaches out to an online board to ask questions and meets a boy
named Nolan. Nolan is dealing with his
own loss and is trying to find something that will link him to his brother,
Liam, who has been missing for a couple of years. When they are together, Kennedy and Nolan feel as though
someone finally understands their heartache and also their curiosity about what
the universe is trying to tell them.
The
beginning of this book was slow, but there are some twists and mysteries that
crop up that made it impossible to put down.
I like that Miranda can tell a suspenseful story without loads of
inappropriate content. The characters
were easy to empathize with and this was a fun and creative story.
