When the enigmatic Anastasia shows up in the halls of Hamilton High, the narrator finds his life changes greatly. She opens his mind to Burroughs, Baudelaire, Chet Baker, and Mozart. She reveals a world of magic tricks, ghost stories, and affectionate mind games. Together the couple probe through enchanted woods, the Internet, and everything in between, until one winter evening when Anastasia disappears, leaving only a dress on a frozen pond and a string of unanswered questions. Suddenly alone, the narrator is hit with the weight of life's less playful mysteries, possible signs from the supernatural, and the mystery of what actually happened to his missing love.

"This is a moody book, and Brick conveys the emotional states of the characters, including agitation and confusion. His narration is fairly low-key, which suits this quiet yet intense story."
