An interesting point of view is the biggest draw of the novel. It features boys reminiscing over a missing girl, a few various storylines of her possible life are invented and we get to follow along with what might have been. We watch from the sidelines and see how the story of a missing girl affects her schoolmates and her sister.

The boys in her life seem unable to get past the mystery surrounding Nora which is saddening in multiple ways. We hear their thoughts on the type of person she was and what they think she could be, but their own lives play only a small part of the story, only interesting when they are winding their lives through hers. While there is no major climax or mystery that will be solved, the writing fills in the blanks with imaginary tales and make you wonder about those whose lives have crossed with your own.
