Young Adult Fiction. Young Adult Literature. LGBTQIA+ (Fiction.) HTML:

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 of 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 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 this blond, lanky boy with a mischief glinting in his eye.

Sebby, Mira's 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 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.

Original de: El Extraño Gato del Cuento

Si no me equivoco, en la versión de la sinopsis para USA dice "La historia de una chica, su mejor amigo gay y el chico que se enamoró de los dos", leyendo eso más la portada, te da entender que podrías tener un libro sobre un triángulo amoroso bisexual o una historia con protagonistas polígamos. Es lo que uno piensa a la primera. Pero no es eso.

La primera vez que leí sobre un personaje bisexual, fue cuando leí Pretty Little Liars, tengo muy marcado ese recuerdo porque lo leí de muy joven, y a pesar de que sabía que yo era bisexual, aún no había hecho las pases con la etiqueta. Fans of the Impossible Life, es sobre un chico que te podrá mostrar lo que es ser bisexual. No es que nos guste todo el mundo (aunque de vez en cuando he bromeado con eso, no lo es), sino que es sobre específicas personas. Jeremy, uno de los narradores, me hizo sentir muy a gusto leyéndolo, porque durante gran parte del libro está seguro de ser gay, pero a la misma vez tiene esta fascinación por Mira y Sebby. La bisexualidad es eso, ver cuan grandiosa es una persona sin importar su género.

Además, me encantó como Kate Scelsa en lugar de darnos un personaje heterosexual que empieza tener sentimientos hacía alguien de su mismo género, lo hace al revés: un personaje seguro de su homosexualidad, hasta que conoce a Mira. Ser bisexual, es como jugar a la ruleta rusa a veces u.u Un problema, ah.

YO. TÚ. ÉL.

He tenido el placer de leer todo tipo de narrativa, una que siempre voy a recordar será When Everything Feels like the Movies, y otra será Fans of the Impossible Life.

Creo que es la primera vez que leo un libro con capítulos narrados en segunda persona, y no me había dado cuenta de que tan triste y melancólico podría sentirse el leerlo. Sebby de por si es un personaje que genera demasiada ternura y un miedo por él. Esos personajes tan perfectos y rotos que solo necesitas protegerlo de la escritora porque de seguro lo tortura. Junta el aura del personaje más la forma de narrar y tienes capítulos bastante duros de leer, tuve la misma sensación que cuando leí los primeros capítulos de Lies We Tell Ourselves, de sacarlos del libro y darles de comer y protegerlos del mundo.

***

¿Recomiendo este libro? Un enorme sí, tiene una narración preciosa, los personajes son entrañables y la historia va mucho más allá sobre la sexualidad de los personajes. La verdad es que estoy entre resumir el libro y soltar spoilers a lo loco o no contar nada más porque quiero que experimentes el libro también.

3.5 stars

I have never read a book like this. It's so close to 4 stars for me, so close and the ending pushed it closer to 4 stars, but it fell just a tad bit short. What makes this book remarkable is the fact that it's told in 3 different view points: first, second, and third. I loved Sebby's second person narration, and while it would have been tiring to read an entire novel in 2nd person, it is used so sparingly in this novel that Sebby really shines. Not to mention that he is by far the most interesting character, even if everyone else is fun too. Everyone in this book is such a beautiful mess, and the entire novel comes off very dark: there's a cloud of sadness hovering over every page, turning the stories a dark, stormy blue.

Fans of the Impossible Life has a lot of potential, even if it doesn't quite make it. It's a good read, but not an outstanding one. I'd keep my eye on Scelsa though-- I can't wait to see what comes next. ( )

Really enjoyed this book! The characters were multilayered and the plot was so realistic.
They pulled me into their lives right away.
We all need friends, especially during those dark moments in life.
Teens will be able to identify with at least one of the characters and their daily struggles.

Only thing I had an issue with was the ending. Some folks have loved it but I felt like there were some I asserted questions. It ended too abruptly without enough closure.
Nonetheless, this will probably be high on many teens to-read list. ( )

Mijn volledige recensie lees je op:

Ik vind het een geweldig boek, wat me continu op het puntje van mijn stoel liet zitten.
Is het een vreselijk spannend boek? Niet in de zin van een thriller, maar het feit dat Kate Scelsa me op het puntje van mijn stoel laat zitten en het feit dat ik zo vreselijk met Mira, Sebby en Jeremy begaan ben, zegt voldoende.
