(2) YA Sixteen-year-old Aysel has decided to kill herself; she connects with an online "Suicide Partner," seventeen-year-old Roman. As the two spend time together, Aysel reconsiders. Debut author Warga tackles the grim subject matter with empathy and honesty, without trivializing her protagonists' disturbing thoughts or emotions. At the same time, it's clear that both teens have much to live for, not least an endearing romance. Websites.
