YA
Darren's best friend and his brother move away, his parents are divorcing, and his father just revealed that he's gay. Love, family, burgeoning sexuality--all are issues Darren deals with in this novel written as a series of lists. Some items are single words ("5. Zoey?"), others are fully fleshed-out paragraphs; the narrative conceit is forced at times but mostly successful.
