Katarina Mazetti. God and I Broke Up. Toronto, Ontario: Groundwood Books, 1995. ISBN 0-88899-584-9
Nobody understands Linnea, that is until she meets Pia. Pia, with her confidence and humor, helps Linnea struggle through the hard times of life in high school. Meanwhile Pia is facing challenges or her own. This story, set in Sweden, takes place after Pia’s suicide and is told as Linnea reflecting back on times they spent together and questioning how she could have prevented the tragedy of Pia’s death. I really liked the reflective writing style, and thought Mazetti captured the teenage voice very well.
