(3) YA Photographs by Jonathan Farmer. Evan likes logic and patterns, but they cannot assuage his grief for Ariel (a friend lost to mental illness) or explain the haunting, increasingly sinister photographs that appear as reminders of Ariel. Exposing both Evan's polished and uncensored thoughts (shown in struck-through text), Levithan captures the pain of indecision as well as action along with the ability of friendship to transcend suffering.
