aacpl: Sixteen-year-old physics nerd Aysel is ready to turn her potential energy into nothingness. Despite being friendless, she doesn’t think she can end her life on her own. Haunting a website connecting suicide buddies, Aysel finds a possible partner, FrozenRobot, who wants to end his life by April 7. With a month to ready herself, excitement builds as they set their plan in motion. Aysel is happier; life doesn’t look as bleak with a friend to share her troubles, sparking a completely unexpected outcome. My Heart and Other Black Holes by Jasmine Warga tackles a serious subject with a sense of humor that shows off great characters trying to find their places after tragedy. Seeing awkward friendship bloom into hope for a future was a good reminder that when everything feels black, finding someone who will listen and be supportive can start to fix a lot of problems. If you need someone to talk to, please call Anne Arundel County Dept of Health’s Crisis Counselor at 410-222-7095 or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1-800-273-8255. -- source link
