YA
Brian's death launches Annaleah into an unusually difficult form of grief, since her relationship with him was clandestine. She can't decide whether their private romance was especially sincere or just a sham. Written in first-person free-verse poems, Schutz's exploration of the unanswered questions death can leave behind is poignant, though the story's ending is a little too tidy.
