6.15.2024 - The Nature of Disappearing

The Nature of Disappearing by Kimi Cunningham Grant 

Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press Minotaur Books and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the latest book by Kimi Cunningham Grant, with the audio perfectly narrated by Emily Pike Stewart.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4 stars!

mlyn and Janessa met in college and formed a tight bond.  But time changes things and their relationship changed as well.  They were partially estranged but trying to reconnect.  Janessa is now an online influencer, blogging about her adventures with her boyfriend, Bush and Emlyn is working as a fishing guide in Idaho.  When Emlyn's ex, Tyler, shows up and shares her concern that neither has heard from Janessa, they pack up and try to find her.  

I loved this author's previous book, These Silent Woods, and the wilderness definitely is another character in this book as well.  Be sure to read the author's note on the meaning of that word as well.  This was less of a thriller and more of a character study on relationships, trust, second chances.   The story goes back in forth in time as we learn the backstories of the characters and how it influences their behavior and relationships in the present.  A good read and will be anxious for her next book!
