OLDER FICTION
Oates, Joyce Carol

Two or Three Things I Forgot to Tell You

(4) YA Dead but still charismatic, Tink makes her presence known to the friends suffering most from her suicide, Merissa and Nadia. As they go through rough patches separately--dealing with divorce, cutting, inappropriate crushes, eating disorders, and so on--Tink's eerie presence comforts them and ushers them to resolution and growth. Oates writes lyrically, but her characters are sometimes too obviously mapped out.
