Fall

Noel thinks he's been allowed into the inner circle of his elite boarding school when he discovers his senior-year roommate is the handsome and popular Julius, a boy who cares only for the fleeting joys of teenage life: sneaking out to parties, playing pranks with friends, and most of all, spending the night with his girlfriend, Fall. Always an outsider, Noel develops an unhealthy fascination with Julius, but his crush on Fall borders on dangerous obsession as he convinces himself of a profound connection that might not exist. Then, when Fall disappears close to winter break, Julius and Noel face their own inner desires, ushering the two boys out of the innocence of adolescence and into the startling realities of adulthood.

Part love story, part mystery, Fall is an exhilarating page-turner of guilt, memory, and identity that captures the agonies and delights of adolescence, and forges them into something startling and new.
