(4) YA While train-hopping near a dangerous park, a preppy skateboarder gets into a skirmish that leaves a security guard dead. Terrified of confessing, the unnamed sixteen-year-old narrator cycles through shock and paranoia while dealing with divorcing parents and a bitchy girlfriend. Though the characters are shallow, the setup is compelling and its aftermath complex and intriguingly unresolved.
