Please Ignore Vera Dietz — A.S. King

When Vera loses her best friend, Charlie, in an apparent suicide after he leaves her for the wrong crowd, everyone expects her to mourn. Nobody expects her to take up drinking in her father's footsteps, or to start seeing visions of Charlie everywhere she goes: in bathrooms, in the car, on her eyelids when she sleeps. He's begging her to clear his name, to find the truth about his death. Can she set aside the hurt he left her with long enough to clear his name - and what will she find out about herself in the process?
