Fence: Striking Distance by Sarah Rees Brennan

4.0

Ah sweet, sweet idiots the lot of them. This story is told from multiple POV. Aiden, desperately in love with his best friend who has no idea, battling how to navigate friendship, secret feelings and teamwork. Harvard, an idiot unaware of Aiden’s love for him that basically everyone can see. Trying to be a good captain and putting the weight of too much on himself. Nicholas, struggling to belong when so many people show they care for him. Trying desperately to be a good friend to his socially inept roommate. Seiji, autistic coded homie who’s special interest is fencing. Unaware of his skill at friendship, despite his social struggles. He works hard to show he is a good teammate to improve his fencing. 🤺
