(3) YA When Brontë Sternberger begins dating Brewster ("Bruiser") Rawlins, her twin brother, Tennyson, quickly asserts his opinion about the relationship. But soon a unique triumvirate forms as Brontë and Tennyson learn more about Bruiser and his mystical ability to absorb others' pain. Narrative perspective alternates among the three characters (Bruiser's is in verse), and Shusterman's knack for authentic teen voices carries the novel.
