All her life Ellie Enderlin had been known as Lila’s sister—until the day Lila, a top math student at Stanford, was murdered, and the shape of their family changed forever. Twenty years later, Ellie is a professional coffee buyer who has never put down roots. When, in a chance meeting, she comes into possession of the notebook that Lila carried everywhere, Ellie returns home to finally discover the truth about her sister’s death—a search that will lead her to Lila’s secret lover, to the motives and fate of a man who profited from their family’s grief, and ultimately to the deepest secrets even sisters keep from each other. From the bestselling author of The Year of Fog (“Highly recommended [for fans of] authors like Jodi Picoult and Jacquelyn Mitchard.”—Library Journal [starred review]), this is a riveting family drama about loss, love, and the way hope redefines our lives—a novel at once heartbreaking, provocative, and impossible to put down.

I don't know how to put it. Saying this book was a pleasant surprise doesn't seem to fit. It's so dark and so negative that saying it's a good story makes me kinda feel awkward. But it IS actually pretty good. Especially since this is supposed to be the author's first book. Some reviews pointed out ...
This book intricately weaved several stories into one. One part was Ellie's - her past, her present, her failures, her successes. Her character reminds me a little bit of myself: an avid reader with a love for coffee (in the book she's a cupper, she travels the world to find new coffees, something I...
I really enjoyed this book. It really flowed from start to finish. I usually find myself making up possible endings about halfway through a book like this but not with this one. I found I just wanted to hear the story. I wanted to know who did it but that seemed to lose importance at the end.I loved...
I enjoyed this enormously. The past-as-mystery element, the interwoven stories being told, the mathematics stories, the coffee.
