Reviews
""A deeply moving story about friendship and individuality in an often inhospitable world."" -- ""Nina LaCour, author of Hold Still"" ""I wish my high school self could read this book. Fans of the Impossible Life perfectly captures the complexity of love, sexuality, and the cost of secrets.."" -- ""Julie Murphy, author of Dumplin'"" ""Narrators Michael Curran-Dorsano, Imani Parks, and Macleod Andrews deliver an intimate story of friendship told from three perspectives...The shifting perspectives are seamless, allowing the characters to develop within each chapter...Andrews matches his tone to Sebby's insouciant, confrontational personality. With softer tones and a bit of hesitancy, Andrews captures the uncertainty beneath Sebby's defiance. Addressing themes of depression, bullying, suicide, substance abuse, and sexuality, this is far from a light listen. Fortunately, the shared performance respects the weight of the story."" -- ""AudioFile"" ""Rounded characters large and small, drawn with insight and empathy, drive the plot. Buoyant writing and wry humor balance the pathos in this powerful debut, a moving tale of friendship as refuge and shield against a hostile world."" -- ""Kirkus Reviews"" ""Scelsa debuts with an evocative novel about finding friendship, love, and oneself, as well as the pain that often accompanies the journey...Themes of betrayal, forgiveness, and resilience resonate strongly...Beautifully told."" -- ""Publishers Weekly (starred review)""
