![]() ![]() It tried to cover too many bases: paranormal, romance, coming-of-age, realistic fiction, and crime all at once. At best, it’s a tragic coming-of-age story, though not a unique one. It is also, ostensibly, a ghost story with elements of a murder mystery, though it fails in both respects. The introduction of a third person into this dynamic of course leads to much teen angst and melodrama. ![]() ![]() Liam is sweet and gentle and almost puppyish in his devotion to the flighty, beautiful Pauline, who is only interested in him as a friend. Maggie has just moved to town, but Pauline and Liam grew up there together. The Vanishing Season is about three friends-Maggie, Liam, and Pauline-who live in an isolated town on Lake Michigan. I have included some hidden spoilers in my Goodreads review. Note: This review is (relatively) spoiler-free. ![]()
