Over twenty years ago, Willa’s sister, Laika, disappeared. It has affected every part of Willa’s life and she has never given up searching. Things come to a head when Willa goes to a dinner party thrown by her first love where some guests may just give Willa the answers she has been so desperately seeking. Told from the perspective of Willa and Robyn, her first love, the story slowly unfolds and past is made clear. The dinner party guests begin to finally understand that Things Don’t Break on Their Own.

This story turned out a lot different than I thought. What was really interesting is that from the description, you would think the whole story was told from Willa’s point of view, but you actually spend more time learning things from Robyn’s. I’m also not entirely sure what to think about that ending. It seems like the summary of the story is actually somewhat misleading and nothing is turns out like you expect, but not in a good twist kind of way. Overall, if you like super sad stories about dysfunctional relationships, this is the story for you.
