YA
Two teens grapple with profound loss: Damon's best friend committed suicide and Melanie's mother died from cancer. Through artistic endeavors--photography (Damon), painting (Melanie), and acting in a school production of Othello (both)--each forges a path through complex grief and a romantic relationship soon develops. Dual first-person narratives heighten emotional intimacy in this deft, sensitive exploration of loss and healing.
