Jessica I really enjoyed The Shock of the Fall which is about a schizophrenic boy trying to cope with his brother's death.
Ryan If you like this, you might also really like "War Boy" by Thorn Kief Hillsbery. It's excellent and a queer coming of age story.
George P. You might like "All the Light We Cannot See". It has 2 characters, a boy and a girl,one French and the other German, whose stories are separate for most of the novel but come together near the end. It won the Pulitzer Prize.
Drew Conder The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things is kinda similar. It has the same dark, moody ambience. It's an excellent book.
