Publisher's summary

Sixteen-year-old physics nerd Aysel is obsessed with plotting 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.

There's only one problem: She's not sure she has the courage to do it alone. But once she discovers a website with a section called Suicide Partners, Aysel's convinced she's found her solution--a teen boy with the username FrozenRobot (aka Roman), who's haunted by a family tragedy, is looking for a partner.

Even though Aysel and Roman have nothing in common, they slowly start to fill in each other's broken lives. But as their suicide pact becomes more concrete, Aysel begins to question whether she really wants to go through with it. Ultimately,she must choose between wanting to die and trying to convince Roman to live so they can discover the potential of their energy together.

This is a gorgeously written and compulsively listenable novel about the transformative power of love, heralding the arrival of an extraordinary new voice in teen fiction, Jasmine Warga.

Will "reread" this on April 7th.

I would definitely "read" this book again and again and again. Amazing characters, amazing story. As expected, the rain washed away all the dirt, but the suspension goes on and on. And finishing this today -April 4th- of all day just make this story comes to life, make me ask myself, where am I in this story? or hundreds of stories like this? I would definitely "read" the last chapter again on April 7th. For all Romans and Aysels.

Absolutely beautiful. I couldn't get enough of this story, and I only want to know more about Roman and Aysel.

Good Story

Excellent narration. I really liked how the author kept you hanging on to find out truly what the father's actual crime was. I also liked the end result.

Breathtaking

Rebecca Lowman portrays the characters in a way I can only imagine Jasmine Warga imagined them. I had the perfect picture of what was happening the whole time with all of the details. Amazing.

Great Underlying Messages

This novel was a good quick listen and was easy to grasp. The two main characters are a little unlikable at first because they don't even like themselves and are both very depressed/negative. But ultimately their relationship helps them to see each other differently. The narration is some of the best I've heard on audible yet.

Amazing Book

For a book about suicide, you will be pleasently surprised by how hopeful this story is. Roman and Azael are remarkably loveable and realistic characters. It is easy to root for them and feel their pain. One heck of a ride. 100% enjoyable. 10/10 might read again.

A true masterpiece

Everything about this book is truly beautiful and incredible I’ve never read such a masterful piece of work that truly describes the feelings and thoughts that come with depression and it was genuinely truly inspiring.

Was just good

The performance was good and the reader didn’t make it super dramatic.
The story was good but had so much more potential. It was a good read/listen but it could have been better. A little edgy too. You can tell it’s more of a teen/ young adult book.
