FANS OF THE IMPOSSIBLE LIFE

Now in paperback—the story of a girl, her gay best friend, and the boy who is in love with them both. This contemporary YA and Indie New Voices Pick is perfect for fans of The Perks of Being a Wallflower—from debut author Kate Scelsa.

Mira is a chronic fatigue syndrome–suffering underachiever who is trying to start over at Saint Francis Prep, where she promised her parents she would at least try to pretend that she could be normal—not a girl who sometimes can’t get out of bed for days on end, who only feels awake when she’s with Sebby.Â

Jeremy is the painfully shy art nerd at Mira’s new school struggling to get over a bullying incident that happened at school last year and who sees Sebby for the first time across the Saint Francis school lawn as if he’s been expecting him—a blond, lanky boy with mischief glinting in his eyes.Â

Sebby is the foster kid, fearless and wild. But hiding his sexual orientation from his conservative foster mother is getting harder...and going to school after everything that’s happened to him seems impossible.Â

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 gorgeously written, powerful debut novel, Fans of the Impossible Life is a story about rituals, love, and transformative friendships that burn hot and change you, even if they can’t last.
