‘SHIMMERS WITH WIT EVEN AS IT EXPLORES DEEP LOSS’ RACHEL KHONG

When Julia’s first-love-turned-best-friend Gabe, a successful indie musician, dies unexpectedly aged 29, Julia launches herself into an intercontinental quest to recover the possessions he left with friends and acquaintances across the world. The search for these items leads Julia to Elizabeth, the last woman Gabe loved, in an interaction that leaves Julia with more questions than answers about Gabe and their shared history. And now, Julia can’t stop talking to, thinking about and googling Elizabeth.

Both women, it turns out, have something to hide. Together, the two must reconcile their conflicting versions and memories of Gabe and what he meant to each of them… and what they now mean to each other.
