(2) YA In alternating chapters, the novel's three main characters describe living in New York City after the attack on the World Trade Center. The teens, at first loosely acquainted, become closer as they learn to cope together. Levithan eschews stock characters and self-help clichés to portray distinct individuals who deal with grief and uncertainty in different ways. A powerful story about emotional rescue.
