Notes from the Blender is one of the best books I've ever read. It deals with tough subjects and does so without falling into the usual YA trap of blaming God and abandoning God. It also shows church folks in a positive light. This is a rare book, indeed.
The story is told from two POVs, Neilly, a popular, pretty kid with divorced parents and a dad who is soon to be remarried (to a man) and Declan, a depressed, death-metal, death-obsessed sullen loner. Declan's mom died when he was young, in a car accident.
Declan has been lusting for Neilly from afar, but she never noticed him. Well now she does. Neilly's mom and Declan's dad are getting married. Really good story. Free of stereotyping.
