The Absolute Value of -1 by Steve Brezenoff

2.0

Lily, Noah, and Simon are a dysfunctional group of friends. It's made even more awkward in that Lily likes Simon but Noah likes Lily. They have a very casual attitude towards smoking, school, and life in general.

Told from multiple view points throughout the story, it is difficult to figure out what's going on and who the characters are, especially at the beginning. While the characters do stand as individuals, none of them are very intersting.
