Twenty years ago, Abigail Sorenson's brother Robert went missing one day before her sixteenth birthday, never to be seen again. That same year, she began receiving scattered chapters in the mail of a self-help manual, the Guidebook, whose anonymous author promised to make her life soar to heights beyond her wildest dreams. The Guidebook's missives have remained a constant in Abi's life--a befuddling yet oddly comforting voice through her family's grief over her brother's disappearance, a move across continents, the devastating dissolution of her marriage, and the new beginning as a single mother and caf ?owner in Sydney. Now, two decades after receiving those first pages, Abi is invited to an all-expenses paid weekend retreat to learn "the truth" about the Guidebook. It's an opportunity too intriguing to refuse. If Everything is Connected, then surely the twin mysteries of the Guidebook and a missing brother must be linked? Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Abigail’s brother goes missing on the eve of her 16th birthday and it haunts the rest of her life. That same day she starts to receive mail with chapters of a self help book called “The Guidebook” and that continues for 20 years and has a profound effect on her life. What happens after those 20 years (plus a few flashbacks) is our story. The explanation of the book is weird but oddly charming.
There are some nice moments here but overall it was as the star ratings say: Just OK
(Chosen from the library because I like the cover.) ( )
