(4) YA Kat's little brother, Beep, is dying of leukemia. While Kat stays strong for Beep, the rest of her life spirals out of control; she faces high school bullies, juggles a secret online persona, and lashes out at her family. Kat's story feels a little too crammed with subplots, but her pervasive grief and guilt are intensely rendered and certainly tear-jerking.
