A captivating and profound debut novel about complicated love and the friendships that have the power to transform you forever, perfect for fans of Nina LaCour and ofΒ The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
Mira is starting over at Saint Francis Prep. She promised her parents she would at least try to pretend that she could act like a functioning human this time, not a girl who canβt get out of bed for days on end, who only feels awake when sheβs with Sebby.
Jeremy is the painfully shy art nerd at Saint Francis whoβs 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 itβs as if heβs been expecting this blond, lanky boy with a mischief glinting in his eye.
Sebby, Miraβs gay best friend, is a boy who seems to carry sunlight around with him . Even as life in his foster home starts to take its toll, Sebby and Mira together craft a world of magic rituals and impromptu road trips, designed to fix the broken parts of their lives.
As Jeremy finds himself drawn into Sebby and Miraβs world, he begins to understand the secrets that they hide in order to protect themselves, to keep each other safe from those who donβt understand their quest to live for the impossible.
