YA
Alys Aronson feels defined as the sister of a boy who shot down fifteen people in their suburban-Wisconsin high school before taking his own life, and she's haunted by a girl she witnessed Luke kill. In this timely and engrossing but melodramatic story of a tragedy's aftermath, Alys confronts loss and alienation as she seeks a way to heal.

YA
Seventeen-year-old Caitlin is on her own, reluctant high school senior by day and "club kid" at night. At turns frenetic, straightforward, and evasive, Cat's narrative is a visceral and unflinching portrait of drug use, abuse, and the 1980s New York club scene. Above all, it reveals how relationships are forged--and can fall apart--within the family we choose.
