The History of Living Forever by Jake Wolff

This is more a coming-of-age story about sexual identity and love than anything paranormal as the title suggests. 16-year-old Conrad falls head over heels with high school chemistry teacher Sammy. Sammy, like Conrad's emotionally distant dad, is fascinated with numbers and alchemy specifically the elixir of life. When Sammy later comes to a bad end either at his own doing or from his test trials, he leaves Con his notebooks on the elixir. Many are eager to retrieve this information however and it will create a dangerous situation but could help Con save the other men in his life the way he wasn't able to save Sammy. Quiet and introspective but also a dangerous quest these quirky characters will dig into your soul.
