I just spotted this book on Goodreads and I knew I had to read soon!
My heart and other black holes sounds amazing! It's like the kind of books I love to read. Funny and deep at the same time.
Check it out!

Expected publication: February 10th 2015
by HarperCollins/Balzer + Bray
Sixteen-year-old
physics nerd Aysel is obsessed with plotting her own death. With a
mother who can barely look at her without wincing, classmates who
whisper behind her back, and a father whose violent crime rocked her
small town, Aysel is ready to turn her potential energy into
nothingness.
There’s only one problem: she’s not sure she has the courage to do it alone. But once she discovers a website with a section called Suicide Partners, Aysel’s convinced she’s found her solution: a teen boy with the username FrozenRobot (aka Roman) who’s haunted by a family tragedy is looking for a partner.
Even though Aysel and Roman have nothing in common, they slowly start to fill in each other’s broken lives. But as their suicide pact becomes more concrete, Aysel begins to question whether she really wants to go through with it. Ultimately, she must choose between wanting to die or trying to convince Roman to live so they can discover the potential of their energy together. Except that Roman may not be so easy to convince.

Sad but interesting. I watched a bollywood movie with a similar plot and loved it so maybe I'll give it a try.
