Nina LaCour's Hold Still
Another book I picked up at ALA, but this one was somewhat serendipitous, since it was on hold for me at the library but the hold was going to expire before I got home. And instead I got a copy signed by the author! So this is a book about Caitlin, whose best friend just killed herself, and how Caitlin copes through the following year. It's also about art, life, love, and treehouses. I cried at least three times while reading it; I think if you liked Lauren Oliver's Before I Fall, you should try this one too. It's a good balance of melancholy and hope, which is just what I like in a book. A.
