Stay With Me by Garrett Freymann-Weyr

When sixteen-year-old Leila Abranel's much older half-sister Rebecca commits suicide, Leila starts out on a quest for answers to know her older sister better and understand why Rebecca did it. As Leila learns more about both her older sisters, her family, and her history, she begins to discover herself. This is a very complex story with many layers that blends humor, tension, and poignant moments. Definitely not a light read, this story will appeal to teens looking for a story with depth, complex characters and involved relationships. Leila's relationship with Eamon, a man fifteen-years her senior, may disturb some readers.
