Except it isn’t.

Critic reviews

‘Holy s***. This book. I loved everything about it. The zingy dialogue, the romance, the suspense. The alternate history . . . It’s a love story of the greatest kind’ GILLIAN MCALLISTER

‘Some books become cultural touchstones that people bond over for years, like One Day or The Time Traveller’s Wife. You remember where you were when you read them, and how you felt. Impossible is one of those books’ LAURA PEARSON

'What an absolute joy of a book! Witty, engaging and so emotionally resonant, IMPOSSIBLE is the book we all need right now!’ SARAH PINBOROUGH

‘It is amazing, NEVER EVER EVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I WISHED I’D WRITTEN A BOOK SO MUCH. I am BAWLING. Bawling. An actual masterpiece’ ANSTEY HARRIS

‘Brilliant! I devoured every page. Warm, witty and original’ SARAH MORGAN

‘An absolutely addictive read . . . I was swept away by Bee and Nick’s impossible love story and I was utterly hooked from the start. Genuinely unputdownable’ JENNIFER SAINT

‘I have DEVOURED Impossible and I'm going to go as far as to say I think it's one of the best rom coms I have ever read. It's so funny, so original, so beautifully mad – I am seething with envy that I didn't write it myself’ SOPHIE COUSENS

‘It is indeed amazing. It has twisted my brain – in a good way – and made me wonder how much of it could be true. Ingenious and beautifully executed’ JILL MANSELL

‘Oh my goodness . . . Funny, unique, moving and complex – Lotz has taken an utterly fascinating premise and placed two wonderfully witty people at its heart’ CESCA MAJOR

‘My mind is officially blown . . . What a book! Breathtakingly original, clever and unputdownable. A work of total genius’ SARAH J HARRIS

‘It knocked my socks off! Such a ridiculously clever, hilarious read with characters so real, I'll never forget them. One of the best, most original love stories I ever read’ JESSICA RYN

Absolutely loved it! An amazing story with so many facets - couldn't stop listening to it. The narration was perfect enabled the reader to visualize the characters. A really good mixture of humour and sadness as the story developed and enabled the reader to empathise with the characters. Would be an amazing film!

Has all the elements of an award winning film!

What a brilliant book! I really had no idea what this was about and wasn’t let down. I was introduced to this book by my book club and hadn’t known of the author beforehand, but now I’m going to keep a lookout for more by Sarah Lotz.
It certainly makes you wonder if there is life on the “other side” as they say. I wasn’t expecting the twist at the end either, but just a shame it had to end.

Couldn’t put it down !
