(4) YA Theresa knew that James had a crush on her but had no idea that her indifference could trigger his suicide. Convinced that she killed James, Theresa assumes a new identity and splits from reality until some unlikely characters help reassemble her life. The premise is intriguing, though the text, written as journal entries interspersed with narrative, leaves much unexplained.
