This is a strange one. It is a mystery--Did Jennet commit suicide? Was her death an accident or was she murdered? And if the latter, who did it? But this is not a detective/crime-solving sort of mystery. Nope. Decades later, her friends gather for a reunion, which also isn't really so much a reunion, but an attempt by one of them to get to the facts of Jennet's death. Instead of investigative techniques, they use sog--a bizarre drink that helps you to reconnect to the past. This is where the fantasy-supernatural thing comes in. There are no supernatural beings or anything like that, but the effects of the drug go way beyond memory or hallucination. If young, you can experience bits of your future. If older, you reexperience your past. It is the past that is relevant here, and you really go back and reexperience the past, quite viscerally. This, of course, raises the question of whether you can change it in the process, which a couple try to do. Also, you can get lost in the past or in the going back and forth; this isn't explored all that deeply, though one character has been through this. The drug and its effects are sort of a sci-fi angle, as well as the "would you change the past if you could, a recuring sci-fi question. Naturally, this drink is distributed by unsavory drug dealers, not cooked up in a lab filled with beakers, computers, and other scientific apparatus. (The drug dealers aren't really so important to the story.)

This is an engaging story, one that might have you staying up reading later than perhaps you should. Enjoy!
