I'm claiming this softcover from the A-to-Z bookbox. (The Twizzlers on the cover caught my attention, as they were my movie-snack-of-choice for many years!)

Later: This is a tale of young people struggling with love and loss, told from the points of view of two of the main characters: Carlos, who's taken a part-time job as a security guard at a local art museum, and Isabel, who's still grieving the loss of her boyfriend, killed in an accident a year before. There are some startling scenes, such as that of the disturbed individual who walks into the museum on Carlos' first day and starts pissing on the floor in front of the stunned youth, and some touching ones, as when Isabel and her friend Heidi admit a new student, Vanessa, to their group. Carlos has to deal with a breakup with his girlfriend, and more serious trouble when his best friend gets a girl pregnant. There are tentative romances, funny "what is art" scenes at the gallery, awkwardnesses with one of the teachers, and eventually a tragedy that polarizes the feelings of the survivors.

Sounds pretty intense I suppose, but the tone is more relaxed, even when dealing with the tragic parts of the story. And there's a dandy climax that I hadn't expected but which was extremely satisfying.

I plan to leave this book on a bench or railing near Dwight Square at around 2, on my way to a BookCrossing meetup; hope the finder enjoys the book!
