Fall
Fall is the darkly comic story of Paul, a young man recounting how he ended up a fugitive frantically writing his life story on a New York City fire-escape. Paul was Robert, and before that he was Alex, and before that he was Sam, which was the name his mother gave him. It was a dim dawn in suburban Connecticut twelve years ago when Paul committed an act so vile he would be forced to run forever. Now, he is certain his true identity has been discovered. Looking back at his life over the course of three frenzied days, Paul records what happened. Through his figurations and the prismatic lens of his memory, we witness a seemingly normal teenager's descent into hatred, intolerance, and violence. Fall is his confession, and his final act.

This was a book that had me up many nights because I had to see what happened next. The main character took me through a roller coaster of emotions-I was very intrigued! I thoroughly enjoyed all the different styles of writing, the poetry was probably my favorite. If you are looking for a deep dark emotional romantic read pick this book up! I highly recommend it.
