Marina and her brother have always been close. When she was just a baby, Lex would come to her when she cried. They were always together. When they were young, Marina tried to dress like him and followed him everywhere. Instead of being annoyed, Lex showed her off to his friends. As teenagers, they would surf together. But things also started to change. Lex started going to punk clubs and he shaved his head. Marina wore short skirts and went on dates. They were still just as close as ever though, until Lex committed suicide.
West sees Marina running from the school, crying. He holds her but doesn't know what to say. He loves her. Her brother is dead. What can he do? Eventually, Marina asks West to help her investigate her brother's death, which she doesn't think is a suicide. Only, while helping Marina, he has to face the truth about Marina and Lex's relationship.
This is a wonderful book. It is written from three points of veiw and while the reader suspects the truth from the very beginning, the ending is still a gut-wrenching twist.
