YA
On the anniversary of his sister's murder, Leo feels called to kill a more "likely" victim than his saintly sister. In loosely alternating first-person narratives, Leo and Bree document their night together, a night meant (by Leo) to end in Bree's murder. Paralleling Leo's story is Bree's tale of her own sister's death. Both teenagers are allowed some ironic humor as they talk themselves through the night to a new sense of empowerment.
