Monoceros by Suzette Mayr
A seventeen year old boy commits suicide, leaving his friends, family and random acquaintances to reflect on their relationship with him. Patrick Furey is a senior in high school in Calgary, AB. He is also gay and the victim of bullying. When his boyfriend Ginger ends their relationship, Patrick hangs himself. The novel is written from the perspectives of those who knew him well, and those who barely knew him. Each narrator examines his/her own life in light of this tragedy.
Although the subject matter is sometimes grim, the novel has been described as whimsical and life-affirming.
