Mira comes into his life when his English teacher, Peter, forces him to start an art club. Mira is the first member. Mira has been practically alone, with just Sebby by her side, since she got out of the hospital last year. Sebby comes to art club with Mira, and Jeremy suddenly feels complete. As Jeremy adapts to the way Mira and Sebby orbit each other, he realizes the challenges they face daily and the lengths they go to to keep them invisible. This is the story of Sebby, Mira, and the boy who loves them both.
Fans of the Impossible Life is excellent. The characters all have a good side to them- Mira her knack for fashion, Jeremy for art. They all have bad sides as well- Mira her depression, Sebby his shoplifting. What is truly unique about Kate Scelsa's characters is that you can see aspects of their "bad side" in their "good side". They let their troubles shape them, and it really shows. The ending was so perfect I wanted to scream. The last page. Oh my. Simply put, this book is a masterpiece.
"They rolled up the maps of their bodies until they were two continents of interlocking roads and rivers and dreams, and she thought, This is how I will leave to live again."
