I took him in… I helped to heal him… But it was he who made me whole… Dan and I were friends from work. I never thought anything romantic could blossom between us. We went to the movies as friends, never as dates. We went hiking together as friends, never as a couple. I knew I was missing something in my life… I just didn’t know what. Or who. Until, one fateful hike, Dan slipped and broke his leg. I did the best I could, administered what first aid I could, and together, we made it to the hospital. But he was going to be immobile for a while, and he needed someone to take care of him. I volunteered. I wanted to help my good friend heal. I took him into my home. And suddenly, my life felt so much more complete, as though until now I was not whole… just one part. But I don’t know how Dan feels. All I know is that I’ll take care of him. I’ll help him heal. I never expected that it would be him who made me feel whole. I never expected that, in his own way, he would heal me…

DIVA collection of essays by a pioneering queer anthropologist./div

A heartfelt, humorous story of a teen boy’s impulsive road trip after the shock of his lifetime—told entirely in lists! Darren hasn’t had an easy year. There was his parents’ divorce, which just so happened to come at the same time his older brother Nate left for college and his longtime best friend moved away. And of course there’s the whole not having a girlfriend thing. Then one Thursday morning Darren’s dad shows up at his house at 6 a.m. with a glazed chocolate doughnut and a revelation that turns Darren’s world inside out. In full freakout mode, Darren, in a totally un-Darren move, ditches school to go visit Nate. Barely twenty-four hours at Nate’s school makes everything much better or much worse—Darren has no idea. It might somehow be both. All he knows for sure is that in addition to trying to figure out why none of his family members are who they used to be, he’s now obsessed with a strangely amazing girl who showed up out of nowhere but then totally disappeared. Told entirely in lists, Todd Hasak-Lowy’s debut YA novel perfectly captures why having anything to do with anyone, including yourself, is: 1. painful 2. unavoidable 3. ridiculously complicated 4. possibly, hopefully the right thing after all.
