(4) YA Michaels's unnamed narrator struggles with the expectations inherent in being the offspring of a Nobel Prize–winning sperm donor while dealing with his manic-depressive mother's ups and downs. However, a disturbing discovery concerning his parentage forever changes their lives. Clipped narration serves to heighten tension, but the means by which the truth is revealed discredits the story's realism.
