In the tradition of A Separate Piece, this riveting story unfolds at a co-ed boarding school, focusing on two male roommates during their final year. When the girlfriend of one, Fall, goes missing, the narrative delves into the complexities of adolescent relationships. From an acclaimed author, this novel is both a psychological thriller and a profound exploration of youth. Awkward Noel believes he has entered the elite inner circle when he is paired with handsome, athletic Julius, who is more interested in the fleeting joys of teenage life—parties, pranks, and his romance with Fall. As Noel narrates this pivotal semester years later, Julius's experiences of first love and camaraderie are interwoven with Noel's self-reflections. An outsider, Noel develops an unhealthy obsession with both Julius and Fall, convincing himself of a connection that may not exist. When Fall disappears just before winter break, both boys confront their inner desires, marking their transition from the innocence of adolescence to adulthood. This literary page-turner captures the exhilaration and angst of teenage love and friendship, highlighting the ephemeral nature of those feelings.
