Friday Finds #11


This is a meme hosted by Should Be Reading. What yah do is post up books that you discovered through bookstores, friends, goodreads, etc. Whichever way you discovered them. But only post up the books the books you discovered during that Friday week only.

Book I found this week

Title: Evidence of Things Not Seen
Author: Lindsey Lane

Synopsis (from Goodreads):
When high school junior Tommy Smythe goes missing, everyone has a theory about what happened to him. Tommy was adopted, so maybe he ran away to find his birth parents. He was an odd kid, often deeply involved in his own thoughts about particle physics, so maybe he just got distracted and wandered off. He was last seen at a pull-out off the highway, so maybe someone drove up and snatched him. Or maybe he slipped into a parallel universe. Tommy believes that everything is possible, and that until something can be proven false, it is possibly true. So as long as Tommy’s whereabouts are undetermined, he could literally be anywhere.

Told in a series of first-person narratives from people who knew Tommy and third-person chapters about people who find the things Tommy left behind—his red motorbike, his driving goggles, pages from his notebook—Particles explores themes of loneliness, connectedness, and the role we play in creating our own realities
