   In Lisa Goldstein's wonderful contemporary fantasy The Uncertain Places, protagonist Will Taylor looks back on the events that occurred after his college roommate Ben introduced him to Livvy Feierabend in 1971. Will is smitten with Livvy, Ben is smitten with Livvy's sister Maddie. The consequences of decisions made in such places are forever. There's good fortune, to be sure, but it comes at a price, one that Will doesn't want Livvy to pay. The Feierabend sisters' world is vague in all the secret ways magic and boundary areas are vague, and that makes them all the more plausible and delightful. Will and Ben slowly discover that stories they always believed were just stories might be more than that.
