There's No Place Like Here by Cecelia Ahern
Bestselling author Cecelia Ahern, the daughter of Ireland's prime minister and the author of three previous novels, returns with the whimsical and romantic fantasy of a devoutly-to-be-wished-for universal lost and found in There's No Place Like Here. Ever since her classmate Jenny-May vanished when they were ten years old, a smalltown Irish girl named Sandy Shortt has been obsessed not only with finding objects, but with finding people. Now grown, Sandy's obsession has become a calling, with her own agency devoted to locating missing persons. But with every failed case, Sandy is plagued with questions: Where do missing people go? As she ponders and goes on with her own life and relationships in the regular world, however, a preoccupied Sandy winds up in a strange parallel universe, home to the people and things that have gone missing from the regular world, and at the metaphoric heart of a romance that explores the meaning of loss and love.
