My Heart and Other Black Holes is a sort-of coming-of-age love story for Aysel, but definitely not in the way you would think-- or at least not ONLY in the way you would think. 
 Aysel is depressed after her father killed a local boy. She is sad because she misses her father, but mostly because she is terrified that his extreme moodiness and unpredictability resides within her. She works at a dead end job and refuses to participate in school because honestly, if you are planning on dying, then what's the point? 
 Enter Roman, aka FrozenRobot. Roman and Aysel make a pact to commit suicide together in one month. Neither is allowed to flake on the other. However, in their journey towards the end together, Aysel discovers that she wants to make a new beginning.... If only she can bring Roman with her. 
 The reason I gave this book 4/5 stars is because I wish the book had made more reference to the need for mental health and that it shouldn't be something that is stigmatizing. It almost seemed to glorify suicide, in a way. 
 That being said, this is a fantastic debut book and I look forward to Jasmine Warga's subsequent books.
