The Absolute Value of -1 by Steve Brezenoff Publication Date: September 1st 2010 Published by Carolrhoda 264 Pages, Hardcover Source: ARC won from the author Summary from Goodreads: "The absolute value of any number, positive or negative, is its distance from zero: -1= 1 Noah, Lily, and Simon have been a trio forever. But as they enter high school, their relationships shift and their world starts to fall apart. Privately, each is dealing with a family crisis—divorce, abuse, and a parent's illness. Yet as they try to escape the pain and reach out for the connections they once counted on, they slip—like soap in a shower. Noah’s got it bad for Lily, but he knows too well Lily sees only Simon.
