I liked Just for the Summer, but I felt like the big reveal was because of intentionally withholding information, which is one of my "shocking twist" pet peeves.

That's fair! I was in too much emotional pain to feel one way or another about it, which is my preferred state while reading so I had a good time :)

I enjoyed the angst, tension and emotion in The Other Side of Disappearing! But I also felt quite confused about Adam's arc: I just couldn't buy that he would go into an entirely different and competitive and tenuous career path just for one story with no other journalistic ambitions.

I think that's often the way of it, though, when someone has a quest that seems to define them. They often are thinking of completing the quest by any means necessary and not really thinking about what happens after. I would be interested in what he does once his passion project is completed, but I bought it in the meantime! He needed something other than sports to do anyways, why NOT journalism? Clearly he's good with people :)
