Just Another Impossible Something

by Peach Sefney

How do you know who you are in a world where there are no right answers? How do you tell the truth from a lie when all words just sound the same? How do you know who you are when you are not yourself?

Fin Placer’s head is all questions, and he’s living in a world without answers; a world of love and sex and things he can’t quite claim to understand the appeal of. There are things going on that his head has kept secret from him, things that even the truth can’t explain, hidden away amongst a crowd of memories cowering behind a screen of frosted glass.

He thinks about the line between delusion and reality, about who he was, and finally, after everything else, who he’s become, because there’s a boy in this body of his, if only he can find it.

I waited months for this book since it was first mentioned. The moment it was on Amazon I got the ebook. I couldn’t tear myself from it. The writing was so intimate, so descriptive and emotional, so fucking raw. This story tore my soul to pieces and built me back up again. This was beautiful, and I’m so happy to have been able to read it. I plan on purchasing a physical copy as well, so I can lend it to friends. This is a book that deserves to be shared.

Wow.

I just finished this book and I feel kind of empty. It’s been an emotional rollercoaster following Fin Placer’s mind. It has been both frustrating and sad. Not very fun, but still very interesting and now I realise that I’m going to miss him. It’s hard to read a book with a protagonist like Fin, I found it hard since I don’t normally read ‘sad’ books, but I enjoyed this a lot.

Especially the writing and the descriptions. From start to end we get to know the world and the characters with amazing descriptions which made the world I pictured in my mind beautiful and realistic. I’m not a native english speaker but I have read a lot of english fiction and I’ve never experienced sentences being formed so beautiful before.

It will be hard leaving this book behind.

This took me on an incredible journey, and it has confused and twisted my mind so many times, it was definitely an adventure.

At times I was confused as the what was going on, but the final chapter seemed to put everything in place and tie up any lose ends and questions that I had throughout, and it was overall brilliantly executed.

I enjoyed this so much and it will definite be in my mind for a long time.

Well done!

My actual rating is 4.5 stars because it's a little hard to follow with the time skips everywhere because of Fin coming in and out of consciousness. This brought back some really hard memories from 2 years ago, back when I was extremely suicidal, but it was illustrated in a way that had me look at my situation in a new light. I'm very proud of Peach for creating and publishing this work of art. All of the characters are actually real and not too fantasized where they were too unrealistic, especially Tom. I almost feel sorry for him, but then again, I feel like he was lying to himself that he was in love with Fin; I think he just needed someone to be his rock, even though they were slowly, painfully crumbling. Even though I know that there will be no sequel and these are just characters of ink, I truly hope that Fin and Matthias' relationship blooms into something beautiful.

To rap all of this up, this was a beautiful work that I would recommend to anyone with an open mind and heart. I hope I see more of Peach Sefney in the near future.

Just Another Impossible Something is the kind of book meant for those trying to find their way. I found myself relating to Fin Placer on most fronts, and because of that, I enjoyed the story thoroughly. It’s thought-provoking and symbolic, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. The author did a fantastic job at portraying the sense of existentialism and lies that we as teenagers face.

this ended up being incredible (not that I ever thought it wouldn't be, because I've been reading peach's work for many years). it takes a lot of getting into, and it's a wee long-winded and confusing, but it bloody works. it's supposed to be that way. I'm so proud of you peach sefney, I'm looking forward to your future projects x

This book was a roller coaster for me. The prose itself is absolutely beautiful, almost poetic in nature, which was lovely. At times I struggled to get through it, but once I got to the end it was so worth it. Amazing plot, very unique, and an overall intriguing book.

The descriptive writing style is so beautiful! Even seemingly mundane small moments really come to life here. It was an interesting and enjoyable read, though sometimes confusing.
