I really enjoyed this book. It was a heartbreaking story of a teen's struggle to deal with life after the death of his little brother. He's sad, angry, damaged, and hopeless. He goes into an ever-more-depressing spiral and hits rock bottom when he meets a homeless runaway and takes ecstasy with her after finding out that his parents are planning to adopt a new child.

The writing style is excellent and the narration style is evocative of Holden Caulfield in the Catcher in the Rye. It was a beautiful, heartbreaking story of loss and renewed hope.
