YA
A year after Lucca’s death, his girlfriend, Brooklyn, and his older brother, Nico, struggle with loss and grief. The death of another friend first haunts them then propels the two into an unexpected relationship. The free-verse poems alternating between the two protagonists are not well distinguished by either voice or style, but the tentative love story element will appeal to romantic-minded readers.
