The Boy Who Set Himself on Fire (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798272342171)

Seventeen-year-old Eli Mercer has always felt too much - too quiet, too intense, too different. But when his emotions literally ignite flames, hiding who he is becomes impossible.

In his small, tightly wound hometown, Eli's fire is seen as something to fear. He tries to bury it under silence and shame - until he meets Cal Becker, a reckless, magnetic boy who makes him feel alive for the first time. With Cal, Eli learns what it means to let his fire burn bright instead of burning him down.

But secrets can only stay hidden for so long. When tragedy strikes, Eli's world erupts - and he must choose between control and freedom, fear and truth, the ashes of who he was and the blaze of who he's meant to be.

The Boy Who Set Himself on Fire is a haunting, lyrical coming-of-age story about love, rage, and the dangerous beauty of being seen. For anyone who's ever felt like their emotions might consume them - this is your spark.
