From christianbook.com:
Podcaster/ex-reporter Faith Byrne gained a following telling tales of triumph after tragedy. But her own life is in shambles---her children are summering in Hawaii with her ex and his new wife. When Dora Crane, mother of Faith's childhood friend who went missing, asks Faith to investigate the long-abandoned case, will they finally find answers and healing?
This was a compelling mix of mystery and introspection for the characters involved. How does one move on from such a tragic loss? If a family member is so stuck in the past that they can't see the present with the people still there, do they move on alone and leave the stuck family member behind? Or do they then lose 2 family members?
I could appreciate the journeys the characters had to take and I was invested in finding out what had happened to Heather. It was an odd juxtaposition to see things through her ten-year-old eyes, compared to those who had aged without her, but as she was forever ten in their memories, it made sense.
I give What Happens Next 3.5 stars. As always, this author's writing is engaging, raw, and fairly realistic.

I received a digital copy of this book, via NetGalley, from the publisher, in exchange for my honest review.
