Icarus was a beautifully written novel about learning to be vulnerable and finding and accepting love, platonic, romantic, and self. I had so many theories throughout this read and I loved analyzing the text for significance to reflect the original myth but also to learn about these characters and why they do the things they do amongst other things.

I couldn't put it down and I'm excited to eventually reread and see what I missed on my first read through. Definitely a fast favorite.
