BLURB:  Oliver and Sydney were neighbors and best friends when they were young.  One fateful Fourth of July, Oliver went missing and 22 years later, he resurfaced.  He had forgotten his childhood memories over time and does not remember Sydney when he returns home.  Sydney and his step-brother, Gabe, try to help him return to the normalcy of the world.

I jumped into this book immediately after finishing Still Beating.  I'm glad it wasn't dark like the book before.  It was humorous despite Oliver's backstory.  I fell in love with Oliver as Sydney did, he was hilarious.  I figured out the "whodunnit" pretty early on, but I still enjoyed when it all came together.
