Fans of the Impossible Life

Gr 9 Up—This debut novel is the story of three friends: Mira, Sebby, and Jeremy. Each have been struggling through life, feeling alone, broken, and unworthy of being loved or saved. Mira is starting a brand-new school, after spending time in the hospital, and is not sure how she will make it through the day without her best friend Sebby. Jeremy sees Sebby and Mira, and just wants to belong with them. Together, they bring one another out of their dark periods and make the world seem brighter. But the brightness is only on the surface. Will their relationships be strong enough to withstand their secrets—from each other, their parents, and their teachers? Full of quirks, just like the characters, this book will resonate with many readers. LGBTQ identities are embraced in this work. Right on trend with its alternating narrators, this work is also told in a melody of points of view—first, second, and third are mixed throughout, which for some readers might prove disjointed.
