Publisher Description

A seventeen-year-old boy, bullied and heartbroken, hangs himself. And although he felt terribly alone, his suicide changes everyone around him.

His parents are devastated. His secret boyfriend's girlfriend is relieved. His unicorn- and virginity-obsessed classmate, Faraday, is shattered; she wishes she had made friends with him that time she sold him an Iced Cappuccino at Tim Hortons. His English teacher, mid-divorce and mid-menopause, wishes she could remember the dead student's name, that she could care more about her students than her ex's new girlfriend. Who happens to be her cousin. The school guidance counsellor, Walter, feels guilty – maybe he should have made an effort when the kid asked for help. Max, the principal, is worried about how it will reflect on the very Catholic school. And Walter, who's been secretly in a relationship with Max for years, thinks that’s a little callous. He’s also tired of Max’s obsession with some sci-fi show on TV. And Max wishes Walter would lose some weight and remember to use a coaster.

And then Max meets a drag queen named Crêpe Suzette. And everything changes.

What the crap?!?

I couldn't not finish this book, because I can't not finish any book, but holy did I wish I could! I don't know if the iBooks version is abridged or what but I feel like the whole story had huge rents torn from it. It could be a good book but there isn't an end, no closure for any of the characters, and leaves you feeling like you forgot to read the rest! I actually really liked the characters but didn't get enough development to really emphasize with them.

Honestly, skip to the last chapter if you're already into it. That's as much sense as the book is going to make.
