Lucy Durant was only fourteen-years-old when she lost her
older brother. First to his paranoid delusions as he became
increasingly obsessed with UFOs and government conspiracies.
Then, permanently, when he walked into the desert outside
Bishop, California, and never returned.
Now on the tenth anniversary of Nolan's mysterious
disappearance, Lucy is still struggling with guilt and
confusion--her memories from that period are blurry and
obscured by time, distance, and alcohol. Now an adult, she's
stuck in a holding pattern, hiding out at her father's
house, avoiding people, and doing whatever she can to keep
herself from thinking about Nolan. But when a series of
unsettling events leads Lucy back to Bishop, she is forced
to reconcile with her estranged mother and come to terms
with the tangled memories of her past to discover what
really happened to her brother all those years ago.
Told in Lucy and Nolan's alternating voices, EVERYTHING WE
LOST is a psychological mystery exploring family, beliefs,
obsessions, the nature of memory, and fear of the unknown--a
haunting, compelling story idea that will resonate with
readers long after the last page is turned.
Geary sets this novel in California which has a lot of UFO
mystery around that area. Everything from research to
sightings of UFOs will have you convinced that there is
life out there in outer space. While I love a good
psychological thriller, I feel that this one just does not
hold up to the hype. I found the book to be very slow
throughout and never really picks up. This book seems to
drag on being too repetitious and depressing.
The characters seem interesting but they lack depth and
backstories. The way the book ends makes me question if a
second book is in the works. Overall, I just was not a fan
of this book.
From the critically acclaimed author of Crooked River
comes this fascinating novel about a young woman
searching for answers about events that transpired ten
years before when her brother disappeared without a trace
—an utterly mesmerizing psychological thriller.
