Sixteen-year-old physics nerd Aysel is obsessed with planning her own death. With a mother who can barely look at her without wincing, classmates who whisper behind her back, and a father whose violent crime rocked her small town, Aysel is ready to turn her potential energy into nothingness. She teams up with her "Suicide Partner", Roman, and together they secretly plan their joint-suicide.

Character Development: Almost all of the characters get some of this, but it is most obvious in both Aysel and Roman. Aysel starts out as a depressed girl who wants to die because she thinks she'll become a murderer like her father. Everyone else shuns her and judges her based off her father, which doesn't help much. Over the course of the book, she begins to notice the good things and the happy things that life has to offer and manages to break free of both her past and her fear of taking after her father. She values life and starts trying to fix the broken relationship she's had with her mother for the past three years. Roman starts similar to Asyle. He hates life and hates himself. He is living with the guilt of being responsible for his little sister's death. He is planning to die the same way she did (drowning) on the anniversary of her death (April 7th). He begins, over the course of the story, to value his life more and live more and live for other people. All this happened because they fell in love.

All of the Other Reindeer: Aysel is isolated at school, her classmates shunning she was "that girl", the daughter of the man who killed Timothy Jackson.

Artistic License – Physics: Averted. The physics in this book is actually pretty solid, given that Aysel is a huge physics nerd.
