When Delia Truesdale learns that her mom's expedition ship has vanished somewhere between southern Chile and Antarctica, she alone is certain that her mother is still alive and she's determined to find out what happened. Unfortunately, her research will have to be done far from her Palo Alto home: per her mom's will, Delia will move to New York City to live with an aunt she's never met. Starting her junior year in a strange city is hard enough, but Delia is also trying to decipher garbled messages left on her cell phone and the cryptic notes she grabbed from her mom's files before leaving California. Even with the assistance of a psychic, a private investigator, and two new friends, there's not much to go on—except one lead that points to a conspiracy involving at least two companies, her mom's business partner, and her own crush's dad. All of the major characters have strong, distinct voices, and their actions are realistic and consistent. However, while the mystery of T.K. Truesdale's whereabouts is ultimately solved, there is no satisfying explanation for it, leaving the story feeling unfinished.

- 30/07/09: This weekend when you’re baking on the beach (or the pool, which is where I intend to be—ha, psych to any editors who are reading this…no, actually I’ll be inside in the AC working on the book I owe you even though all my friends are making fun of me because I’m getting so pale), don’t be all: “Meg Cabot didn’t tell me about any good books to read on her blog this week!”
Because I’m totally coming to bat for you with And Then Everything Unraveled by Jennifer Sturman, which you’re going to love….
…even though the cover sort of makes you wonder, what is this book about, exactly? Why is this girl wandering down the middle of the street? Will she be hit by a bus if she doesn’t start looking where she’s going?
The answer is no, and trust me, I’m not the only one who liked this book. All these bloggers and booksellers say it’s good, too. And so does Publishers Weekly. Check it out!
Basically And Then Everything Unraveled has got it all: humor, mystery, romance….
So don’t say I didn’t tell you so.
Oh, and wear plenty of sunscreen.
