Daphne Maritch, following the advice of a decluttering guru, tosses out her dead mother’s treasured yearbook after moving to a new apartment. Geneva Wisenkorn, an extraordinarily annoying neighbor, finds it and declares her intention to make a documentary about it.

*
Daphne’s mother, June, had made hundreds of notes about students in the yearbook during her long career as the yearbook advisor at Pickering High School. Most of the notes are not exactly flattering.
*
*
*
From there, the novel delves deeply into secrets, revelations, heartbreaks, and healings as Daphne discovers not only her mother and father, but also herself. Very good read.
