(2) YA High school junior Ryan is figuring out how to live again after a suicide attempt and psychiatric hospitalization. Desperate to understand her father's suicide, Nicki wants to know why Ryan tried to kill himself. Ryan works through her question in memories interspersed with the action. Ryan's relationships are nuanced and realistically fragile; his somber narration is punctuated with wry gallows humor.
