Natasha Farrant's After Iris
This is one of those YA books that just makes you straight up WEEP, about 13-year-old Bluebell, whose twin, Iris, was killed in an accident almost three years earlier--and her family has basically been falling apart ever since. There are also a bunch of pet rats, a bearded Bosnian au pair, first crushes, school drama, and more. Things resolve a little too neatly for my personal taste, but that feels about right for a middle-grade book, and it's still fairly satisfying. B/B+.
