The thing about jellyfish by Ali Benjamin.

The thing about jellyfish by Ali Benjamin. Little, Brown & Co 2015. 

Suzy is selectively mute after the death of Franny, who was her best friend.

Suzy doesn't fit in, in middle school, while Franny had begun to conform.

Trying to make sense of Franny's drowning, Suzy becomes convinced jellyfish were responsible, and begins researching them.

Suzy's grief is mixed with guilt, as she remembers the course of her and Franny's relationship. Added to this, is her difficulty with understanding 'normal' relationships and emotions.
