Emily Wing Smith's The Way He Lived
After the tragic death of a teenage boy, six other teens who knew him--including his best friend and his two sisters--take turns narrating a story about him, and about their own grief. All the characters are Mormon, but this is narratively not a huge deal, and it's interesting to read about these characters who are typical teenagers dealing with love and school and loss. Some sections worked better than others, and I thought the end was a bit abrupt (I hoped to revisit some of the characters more), but still a solid read. B+.
