Description

International bestselling author Paullina Simons delivers a riveting novel about a young woman whose search for her missing friend turns into a life-shattering odyssey.

The truth will change her forever.

Living in bustling New York City, Lily Quinn has plenty of distractions and is struggling to finish college as well as pay her rent. But that all pales in comparison when Amy, her best friend and roommate, disappears without a trace.

Spencer O'Malley, a cynical NYPD detective assigned to Amy's case, immediately captures Lily's attention. Though he is wary and wrestling with his own demons, he, too, is irresistibly drawn to Lily.

But fate has more in store for Lily than she ever expected. As she looks deeper into the mystery surrounding Amy's disappearance, Lily finds answers she never imagined she'd find—answers that challenge everything she knows about her own life.

Lily's search puts her on a collision course with tragedy and love, and gives her a glimpse into the abyss that swallowed her friend . . . until she faces a final confrontation with her own life-changing destiny.

"Part mystery, part romance, part family drama . . . in other words, the perfect book."—Daily Mail

        Starred review from October 15, 2017
        Ostensibly, this hefty novel is about a missing young woman, Amy; her scattered, then very ill, roommate, Lily; and the detective, Spencer, assigned to the missing-person case. It could also be said to be about Lily's romantic life, her selfish mother, and her money-grubbing sisters. But this gorgeous book is much more than a conventional thriller. It's a family drama that extends from the Holocaust to today; a lesson on the deep love that damaged souls need and are capable of; and a lasting illustration of what's really important in life. Although originally published in Australia in 2004, the book is only now receiving widespread distribution in the U.S. Readers will find Simons' sharp prose and unforgettable charactersSpencer and Lily, especiallycaptivating, and librarians will find that the idea of read-alikes for The Girl in Times Square to be almost beside the point. After finishing the novel, readers will only want one thing: more Paullina Simons. Give this one the word of mouth it richly deserves.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.)
