Icarus

Marvelous and strange. The love story was to die for, but the chapters in which Icarus's “classroom friends” evolved into real friends were arguably my favorites. I'm a sucker for a lonely boy who finds support and caring in a high school setting (god knows I never did), especially from jock bros.

I yield the floor to my esteemed colleague ancientreader for her eloquent review, without which I would have missed this wonderful fever dream of a novel.
