(2) YA Leigh moves to Maryland to help his grieving stepsister. There he meets Maia, a recovering anorexic and cutter with a highly developed sense of self. They fall in love, but the story's four-years-later framing device lets readers know up front that their romance is doomed. Leigh's retrospective narration reveals an engaging male-coming-of-age tale that explores notions of violence, devotion, and trust.
