This is the story of a girl, her
gay best friend, and the boy in love with both of them.
Ten months after her recurring
depression landed her in the hospital, Mira is starting over as a new student
at Saint Francis Prep. She promised her parents she would at least try to act
like a normal, functioning human this time around, not a girl who sometimes
can’t get out of bed for days on end, who only feels awake when she’s with
Sebby.
Jeremy is the painfully shy art
nerd at Saint Francis who’s been in self-imposed isolation after an incident
that ruined his last year of school. When he sees Sebby for the first time
across the school lawn it’s as if he’s been expecting this blond, lanky boy
with a mischievous glint in his eye.
Sebby, Mira’s gay best friend, is a
boy who seems to carry sunlight around with him like a backlit halo. Even as
life in his foster home starts to take its toll, Sebby and Mira together craft
a world of magic rituals and secret road trips, designed to fix the broken
parts of their lives.
As Jeremy finds himself drawn into
Sebby and Mira’s world, he begins to understand the secrets that they hide in
order to protect themselves, to keep each other safe from those who don’t
understand their quest to live for the impossible.
A captivating and profound debut
novel, "Fans of the Impossible Life" is a story about complicated
love and the friendships that change you forever.
My Thoughts
This storyline just sounds so intriguing. And, while
normally I’d rather read the book from one of the boys’ perspectives, I think
it’ll be interesting to read the book from Mira’s point of view.
What book are you waiting for this Wednesday?
