Be a Fan With 'Fans of the Impossible Life'

Fans of the Impossible Life

Author: Kate Scelsa 
Goodreads / Amazon

Ten months after her recurring depression landed her in the hospital, 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 can’t get out of bed for days on end, who only feels awake when she’s with Sebby.

Jeremy is the painfully shy art nerd at Saint Francis who’s 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, it’s as if he’s been expecting him.

Sebby, Mira’s gay best friend, is a boy who seems to carry sunlight around with him like a backlit halo. 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 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 captivating and profound debut novel, Fans of the Impossible Life is a story about complicated love and the friendships that change you forever.

City of Fans: 

An amazing city with impossibly real characters, massive amounts of diversity, an art club, running away, thrift shopping, drugs, depression, gay people, and rituals to forget. Sadly, there is a hint of instalove. Written in three PoVs (first, second, and third.) Highly unforgettable. 

"Hey, did you read 'Fans of the Impossible Life' yet? Oh man. It's amazing! The characters seem real. There's a lot of diversity. The problems they go through seem like they can happen in every day life. And some really awesome rituals."

This Week's Topic:

Ten Books That Celebrate Diversity/Diverse Characters

What is diversity? It might seem like an easy answer, but it really isn't. There isn't one definition of diversity. Everyone defines it differently. 

This is We Need Diverse Books's definition: 

How we define diversity:

We recognize all diverse experiences, including (but not limited to) LGBTQIA, people of color, gender diversity, people with disabilities, and ethnic, cultural, and religious minorities.

I personally think I read diverse books. I will read a LGBT book or a book about mental health. I'm an open-minded person. I think we need diverse books because our world is full of diversity. Books should reflect that. I see the need for diversity in books. 
Here is my top ten list of books that celebrate diversity. I read all these books in 2015.

LGBT 

Gay:

Transgender:

Intersex:

Race/Ethnicity:

Mental Health:
