The Inevitable Collision of Birdie & Bash

(4) YA Birdie is a science-obsessed misfit; Bash is an underachiever whose single mother is in hospice care. After a chance meeting, their paths cross again after Bash's best friend hits Birdie's toddler brother with his car (then leaves the scene). In alternating-perspective chapters, the pair trades repartee and deep thoughts while growing closer. It's hard to get past the couple's horrifyingly tragic connection in this melodramatic romance.
