(3) YA Lex's present-tense narration relates her struggles in the months following her brother's suicide; she wonders if she feels Tyler's presence. Interspersed past-tense journal entries reveal memories of Ty--and why Lex feels so guilty about his death. Lex's realistically portrayed grief (with many setbacks but also lots of support) doesn't need the possibly-supernatural element for poignancy, but readers won't mind it.
