Two words to describe them and this story? Utterly charming. From big loud Marco and quietly suffering wingman, Stephen.
Between wanting to play and solve mysteries, and looking for something deeper and intransient.Īs always, Moskowitz’s signature ability to create characters that jump out of the page with their complexity and personality is here on display. Throughout the novel there is an intense tug and pull between the two. The novel perfectly captures that ennui of two friends close to saying goodbye to childhood and each other and their desire to also charge forth and grow older and mature. Marco and Stephen are just at the tipping point and the grand Heist in this novel is their last hurrah before life takes them in different directions. Moskowitz has captured that awkward balance between child and teenager. Marco and Stephen are so effortlessly charming and wonderfully fun. Marco Impossible is one of those books that will make you laugh, laugh some more, fall in love with all the characters and float around buzzing afterwards. “Don’t know! Seemed like fun to make you give up on humanity and despair for the world!”
But is it going to be something happy? Something heart-wrenchingly sad? Both? Is she just going to straight up gut you and leave your innards lying on the floor at your feet while you hollowly ask, “Why, Hannah? WHY!?” You just never know what you’re going to get with a Hannah Moskowitz novel.
