the boy who loved Wicked Kindle Edition

“The madness of love is the greatest of heaven’s blessings.” ~Plato

Day 1 of senior year at Denwin High was not supposed to end with my thoughts consumed by the new AP Philosophy teacher. I’d impatiently waited three years to take the course, but from the moment he strode in with his sad eyes that mirrored my own, I was intrigued by only him.

Dr. Sebastian Wicked.

Intrigue turned into obsession, and common interests set the stage for a tentative friendship with the enigmatic man. In time, every line put in place became blurred as what we shared sparked the flames of a forbidden affair. An affair that should've never been, a wrong that the universe sought to right.

There was only one possible outcome—we were both going to burn. Would our love rise up from the ashes? Or would it smolder in the ruins?

My name is Phoenix Michaelson, and I am the boy who loved Wicked.

Age-gap, taboo, student/teacher. And their beautiful story
"If someone had asked me to explain what triggered my interest in Mr. Wicked, what sent me crawling over the edge, it was his sadness. I fell in love with his sadness first." -PhoenixThis is one of the most heartfelt love stories I've read! I don't know why I held off so long when I KNEW CP Harris does age-gap so well!!Phoenix is a high school Senior and is taking philosophy which is being taught by Sebastian Wicked. You could feel their connection from the moment they met. Their love for philosophy and using it in a way to express themselves was so uniquely done.It was a hard fought HEA. Phoenix needed to grow and find himself while Sebastian needed to clear the sadness that was taking over his life. They both struggled and my heart hurt for them during that time. I'm so happy they took that time to find themselves before reuniting and falling even more in love!Books don't usually make me cry-I'll admit to feeling really sad but that's usually it- however, CP Harris managed to get my heart to stop and my eyes get misty not once (end of entry #1) but twice (last few paragraphs of book).I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend listening to Liam DiCosimo bring Phoenix and ALL of his feelings alive along with Tim Paige as Sebastian in the audiobook!!

Yet another emotional, fantastic story by Cap Harris! I’m late reading this one, but I am glad I read it! The first chapters made me cry, and the rest was all over! Great read, emotional and dramatic, not usually a genre I pick out but I love CP Harris, so I jumped in anyway!

This was one of my favourite books this year. Some authors struggle to capture the deep love and passion between their MCs. CP Harris is not one of those authors. The depth of feeling between Sebastian and Phoenix is captured and written so exquisitely that as a reader, you can not help but drown in their pain and soar in their love. The philosophy was a bonus. A beautiful, beautiful read.

5 valid and bright stars!!!

Oh, this book! Such passion, heartbreak and meaningful prose molded into a story of two destinies that come together, diverge and reconnect.

I can honestly state that I have never read a more entertaining book concerning two people of similar backgrounds that through every obstacle placed before them ultimately manage to secure each other's destinies and true love.

The plotlines, writing and characters were all so smoothly intermingled that my investment in Sebastian and Phoenix's lives brought me sheer and utter joy. And a whopping dose of longing for what they accomplished through tenacity and the unmitigated power of true love.

Beginning when Phoenix was a senior in high school and Sebastian Wicked was his philosophy teacher and concluding with Seb's resignation as professor and department head of Theology in college, the same college Phoenix attended, this tale describes in glorious and intimate detail their complicated developing relationship. Barrier upon barrier appear to mar that relationship, but through all of their obstacles, their unrelenting love and need for one another will not be denied.

I particularly enjoyed the author's injection of philosophical quotes from the greatest philosophers in our past to weave this story. As both protagonists share a love of these intellectual's writings, their inclusion plays a major role in their lives. And the people they manage to become.

If you cannot devine that I absolutely loved this book at this point, I have failed future readers as a reviewer. It is intellectually stimulating, deeply emotional and describes the true meaning of sacrificing oneself completely to attain their ultimate happiness and strengthen the bonds of love, despite all the dangers and pitfalls along their journey.

This book is my top book of 2021... I can't imagine another author taking that spot. Merge was my top book of 2020.

CP Harris is not a prolific author, but is definitely one who goes for quality above quantity. Her books are challenging, engaging, emotional, and just on this side of too much.

If you take a step back and look at the book emotionlessly, there's age-gap, some unconventional hurt-comfort, teacher-student, and some other tropes. But the author doesn't rely on the tropes to make the book. They're just situational details. The "other stuff" is what grabs you and won't let you go.

Pheeny is, as he says, mature beyond his years, innocent, intelligent, pained, tortured, lost. Bash is troubled, haunted, self-flagellating, lost, and hopeless. The two connect over a common interest and their intellect and passion overcome many of their limitations, but not all. Both have to find a way to grow beyond their limitations, and discover their worth, outside of the experiences that made them.

The book will break your heart in the first chapter, put it back together, break it again, and then reassemble it into something indestructible, hopeful, and joyous. The HEA is hard won, but so appreciated because of the realism involved in making the relationship work. This is not insta-love. This is not easy. This is real life on paper. What will you do to fall in love and stay there?

And finally... the epilogue. It's not what you will expect. It's amazing. It actually adds to the story. It's not just a gratuitous page or two about extra happiness. It'll hit you in the feels just as much as the main story.

Read it. Enjoy it. Immerse yourself in it. You'll love it.

Phoenix is starting his senior year in high school senior. A new teacher, Sebastian, replaced their usual philosophy teacher, who also moved into the house right behind Phoenix’s.

Sebastian and Phoenix were both lonely and needing a companion. They instantly bonded over their love for philosophy and their life experiences and losses.

Phoenix would visit Sebastian at his house and found out many secrets along the way.

This book didn’t hit the mark like how I wanted it to be. I was in love with it until about halfway.

I wish that we saw more spice between Phoenix and Sebastian. It would always end the chapter before it would happen, but I do understand that it’s more fitting for the storyline. There were so many “firsts” that we didn’t get to experience reading. I felt the book rushed at the end. Their time finally came and it ended right away.

I swear, I've never been so torn about a book like this one. Can't think of any off the top of my head that gave me such mixed feelings.
On one hand, it was taboo as hell, but on the other hand, the main characters' emotions just hit me like a ton of bricks.
I was always torn between "this ain't right, Phoenix is still so young" and "is this actually okay, can it be?". Probably had a lot to do with how obsessed they both were.
I'll tell ya one thing, those two found each other, had to make some tough calls to finally get their happy ending.
My vote? Totally worth a read.

Firstly, I’m going to seek out more from this author. The writing, the words, the story,everything about this book is beautiful. Yes even the sadness, slight angst. Makes me feel I should read Socrates,Plato, all the Greek Philosophers for their insightful words.

So,this is an age gap, forbidden, student/teacher story of 18 year old Phoenix and Sebastian a late 30’s Professor of Philosophy. Drawn together as if by a magnet.

Both have issues, Phoenix hasn’t come to terms with the death of his beloved father who instilled in him his love of Socrates et Al.

Sebastian still suffers from guilt over a great loss in his life due to his father’s cruelty in not showing him any understanding, love, kindness. Yet Sebastian tried to do everything to please him. Consequently, he married a woman chosen by his father.

No spoilers from me, just that this will be the first ebook I’ll read again.

Do yourself a favour and get a copy of this added to your Library as a great read. 💯💯💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥

The pure brilliance of this book was almost an assault on my unassuming heart that just wanted to read an intense romance, looking for something and someone new.
C.P. Harris, I've discovered, is a terrific writer whose words about these two vulnerable men, I read raptured. I cried. I hoped. I loved.
This book is genius in how it wants its two characters Pheeny and Bash to emulate their philosophical heroes while teaching the readers; US, the same values. And boy did I learn a thing or two.
I want everyone to give this book a chance be cause it's so important in the lessons of love. It's faultless, flawless and yet all of those things, because that's how we learn and grow. It's more than a romance, it's a journey. After reading it, I feel like I've had an experience. And the story is one to stay with me a long time. I absolutely loved it!

The Boy Who Loved Wicked is a teacher/student MM romance.

Like Bad Wrong Things I was consumed and absolutely sunk into this book. One would think I would have learned the first time when starting a C.P Harris book one does not do it before they have to go to work. Putting down her books is absolutely painful! Regrets on having to go to work and delaying this read.

I love a good forbidden trope, but this book is so much more than it's tropes. It's beautifully written with love, heartache and loss at the forefront. I felt all the feels…And it takes a special kinda author to not only hook me in but provoke the feels. Their story hurt my heart. My heart hurt for the pain in the pages of this book. That is absolute gifted author to elicit such a reaction.
I don't want to give spoilers in my review, because this is a book you absolutely need to sink your teeth in and go in blind for.

Reviewed in Canada on May 15, 2023

I almost never write reviews of books I've read... In all honesty, I never do. However, this year I've read over 450 books and out of all of them this book, written by an author I'd read only once before, shined the brightest. It wasn't because I couldn't put it down, though that is true, nor is it because it had entirely too many quotable lines, though it did, but it was because I arrived at the book unsuspecting how much I would appreciate the clever, candid weaving of philosophy -- classical and personal -- with the journey of discovery that comes from the catalyst that is love.

This book deserves to be cherished by those willing to admit they still have things to learn from the world and from those whose hearts are open enough to let them.

Whoever you are in this world, C. P. Harris, know you are profoundly responsible for my smiles these last two days -- thank you for your gift of a novel.
