Book Review: Fans of the Impossible Life by Kate Scelsa


A fascinating book with some excellent characters. You have your main three: Jeremy, Mira and Sebby, each with alternating points of view - Jeremy first, Mira third, and Sebby second. The secondary characters also hold up well, Rose, Talia and the grey Peter.

While I related to Jeremy and Mira's chapters the most I found Sebby's fascinating in their lack of clarity. It touched on things that maybe I could guess but to have it spoken would have been a very brave move.

I felt that the book dealt with mental health and sexuality issues very well and I loved the fact that things weren't just fixed at the end and that Mira had a relapse - recovery isn't linear. The thing that knocked off the half star was that the ending was very abrupt with no solid resolution.

4.5/5 stars.
