Such an adorable book. I'm just on some reading marathon not even bothering to put the book down. My Heart and Other Black Holes follows Aysel, a teenager who's been dealt a tough hand in life. After her Father went crazy and murdered a young outstanding member of their small town community, she was ostracized by all her former friends, stopped talking to people, living with her mother and her replacement family. 
After scouting a popular online page for suicidal people looking for a partner to off themselves with, Aysel meets FrozenRobot AKA Roman, a boy her age who, after believing to have caused his younger sisters accidental drowning, wants to off himself on the 1 year anniversary of her death, but he needs a partner. 
Living only 15 minutes from her, they meet and come up with a plan. 
The first meeting is odd, Aysel sees Frozen Robot as what he used to be, the popular highschool jock, good looking, with plenty of ex-girlfriends. While Aysel is the quiet ignored, awkward girl, she can't seem to understand how or why he'd ever want to off himself. Especially after meeting his mother who fondles over him and worries constantly about him, where as her family and everyone in the town she lived in her whole life wouldn't blink an eye at her death.
She quickly learns that they aren't so different, he's just better at hiding how depressed he is. 
Needless to say in the month they spend planning their deaths, learning the underlying reasons for eachothers lack of interest in living, Aysel falls head over heals for him, and it may be mutual, despite his insistence after kissing her that it doesn't change anything, it does...for her.
With her final confession as to why she wants to die...blaming herself for what her father did to the towns hero, Roman takes matters into his own hands. Pushing up the suicide date as to keep her from being a part of it. 
She finds him, in the garage, in his mothers car filled with exhaust....

Love. Love. LOVE this book.
