Thank you both for your responses. I will definitely find those books and my husband and I can read them together.
Your second paragraph makes me very sad.

He used to be so smart, so funny, he was just the goofiest dude always willing to hang out, always wanted to get into trouble.... Eventually that trouble led him to some pretty heavy drugs, and none of us knew that he was experimenting with them until he nearly died of an overdose of ecstasy. He was even valedictorian. We are so sad for him. I think maybe tonight we'll have him over for pizza and movies. I think we need to do that more. He's always saying that he doesn't like doing anything with other friends because he feels like he's awkward and can't come up with things to say, but he says he likes spending time with us. I guess cuz both my husband and I are talkers.
Thanks again.
